There are many unanswered questions about the causes, prevention and treatment of dementia. Only research will help us to find these answers. This research is reliant on people like you volunteering to take part to make a difference.

Join Dementia Research is a service which enables people to register their interest in national dementia research. It helps people with dementia, their carers or those who support them, and anyone over 18 interested in dementia research to make a difference and take part in vital research studies. 

Once signed up, you will receive email notifications about studies you can take part in. There is no obligation to take part in any of the studies you are matched to.

Watch this video to find out more about how the service works and sign up today on the Join Dementia Research website. Alternatively, click the ‘Register by phone’ button on the website or call one of our charity partners.
