Midday Lecture Webinars
These short ‘midday’ lectures feature early career researchers talking about their work, and careers. The aim being to share the science, encourage collaborations and support spread and adoption of the learning produced from their work. If you would like to discuss and share your work through a Dementia Researcher Webinar, drop us a line to dementiaresearcher@nihr.ac.uk. If you can’t make the webinar don’t worry, we will be sharing them later through the website.

Webinar #3 ‘The importance of measuring fidelity of delivery of, and engagement with, complex dementia interventions’ Monday 6th April at 1.30 PM
Psychological and social interventions which aim to help people with dementia to live independently are often developed and evaluated. It is not always clear whether these interventions are delivered as planned by providers (called ‘fidelity of delivery’), or engaged with by participants. To understand if the planned intervention is responsible for intervention outcomes, we need to understand how it is delivered and engaged with.
In this Webinar, Dr Holly Walton discusses why fidelity of delivery and engagement are important when evaluating psychosocial interventions for dementia. She also gives examples of how to measure fidelity of delivery and engagement, using examples from my PhD research and shares what she found in her PhD research (from two dementia interventions).
