Around 1 million people in the UK have dementia. By 2040, this is expected to rise to 1.4 million.

With your help we can help improve diagnosis, treatment and care.

Join Dementia Research enables people to take part in studies across the UK.

When you sign up with us, your information will be saved so researchers can find people for their studies.

It’s like a matchmaking service, where we connect you with researchers.

It’s easy to sign up. Just visit our website and fill in your details there.

You can also sign up over the phone or by filling out our paper form. 

You can even sign up on behalf of somebody else.

There are studies for everybody. From those with dementia, to their carers and family members. Even if you are not affected by the condition yourself, there are plenty of studies that need healthy volunteers of all ages.

Once you are registered, you will be notified about studies that are suitable for you and asked if you want to take part. 

Sometimes it will take a week or a month and for others it can take a bit longer. 

There are a wide variety of studies you could take part in. You might be invited to do an online survey, visit a support group, have a blood test, take a new type of medication or try something completely different such as novel virtual reality experiences, online exercise classes and trying out new devices at home. 

So if you want to be part of something special, register with us today.
