The focus of Jackie’s research is working in partnership with people with dementia (PwD) and carers, health and social care providers, voluntary organisations, and students to design, develop, implement, and evaluate contemporary and innovative approaches to person centred community-based care and support. These have included the UON Changemaker Challenge Project, UnityDEM. This post-diagnostic support centre truly provides an innovative and unique care and support pathway for PwD and their carers in Northamptonshire. Jackie has also jointly led the Alzheimer’s Society funded three year Angela Project (2016-19) together with UCL and the University of Bradford. The central aims of this national study were to investigate diagnostic accuracy and post diagnostic support mechanisms for people with young onset dementia. As Chair of the Health Education England Thames Valley Dementia Academic Action Group (DAAG) project from 2014-16, Jackie led a cross-Universities team who designed and delivered Tier 1 Dementia awareness Training Packages. She has also designed and delivered Tier2 dementia training for GPs; and an Advanced Care Planning Training Project for people with dementia and carers.
