Dementia Community Research Network

Attending the Dementia Community Research Network (DCRN) conference as a person with lived experience Pauline Jones gives her round-up of the DCRN’s annual public engagement event, which shares the meaningful research being done in the dementia field and offers like-minded people a space to connect.
