Living well with dementia

Lead Research Organisation: University of Exeter
Department Name: Psychology

Abstract

Living well with dementia, whether as a person with dementia (PwD) or primary (usually family) carer (PC), can be understood as maximising life satisfaction, reaching one's potential for well-being, and experiencing the best possible quality of life (QoL). Enabling PwD and PC to live well with dementia is a key UK policy objective, but policy recommendations do not tell us how this can be achieved. This project aims to understand what 'living well' means from the perspective of PwD and PC. It will identify what helps people to live well or makes it difficult to live well in the context of having dementia or caring for a person with dementia. In order to understand what 'living well' means to people with dementia and primary carers, and what influences the possibility of living well, we will find out about the things that affect the way in which people adapt to the effects of the condition and the challenges it presents, and how these things change over time. These include the assets and resources people have available, and the support they get from other people in their network. We will find out about how the way in which people respond to the challenges presented by dementia affects their ability to engage in activities and participate in the community. We will look at how all of these things relate to well-being, satisfaction with life and quality of life for PwD and PC, and how changes in assets and resources affect the possibility of 'living well' with dementia. Over a two-year period we will recruit 1500 people with early-stage dementia from all areas of the UK. We will also include a PC wherever possible, and we expect to include at least 1000 PC. We will make contact with potential participants through the local research networks that link with NHS memory services. We will visit all the participants (PwD and PC) and we will ask them to respond to questions about things that influence their life satisfaction, well-being and quality of life. This will yield numerical data that we will analyse statistically. We will visit all the participants on two more occasions, one year apart, to find out how things develop or change over time and how any changes affect their life satisfaction, well-being and quality of life. A smaller group composed of those whose ability to live well improves or declines over the first year of the study will be interviewed in more depth in years 2 and 3, and we will draw out the important themes in what they tell us and use what they say to enrich the understanding we have gained from the statistical analyses. We will involve an advisory network including PwD, PC, members of the public and representatives of the Alzheimer's Society in running the study to help make sure that it is relevant to PwD and PC and that the best possible use is made of the findings. We will use our findings to create an action plan setting out what can be done by individuals, communities, health and social care practitioners, care providers and policy-makers to improve the likelihood of living well with dementia. We will work with policy-makers to ensure that the information we have gained will influence future policies. We will work with commissioners and providers of health services and social care services, and with practitioners in these areas, using the evidence we have gained to improve the effectiveness of services. We will engage with the general public to try to encourage a more constructive attitude towards dementia and make local communities more aware and dementia friendly. The study will be the first large-scale study of its kind and will help to develop the skills of researchers in the dementia field and stimulate new developments. It will provide a unique resource and focus for social science research in the UK and internationally.

Planned Impact

We expect this study to have a major impact on the lives and experiences of people with dementia (PwD) and primary carers (PC) in the UK and internationally. Improved outcomes for PwD and PC will yield significant social and economic benefits for society in general and including economic benefits for the NHS and for social care service providers in particular. The findings will provide an understanding of the factors that support or constrain the ability of PwD and PC to live well with dementia, and the possibilities for change and improvement. The resulting comprehensive picture of the current UK situation in relation to policy aspirations will offer a firm foundation for policy and practice development in relation to living with dementia. We will aim to have a significant impact in three key areas. First, academically the study will provide robust and high quality research evidence on what factors affect the capacity of PwD and PC to live well with dementia and will identify those factors that are amenable to effective intervention in the short, medium and long term. The study will have a significant impact on dementia research nationally and internationally by advancing methods in the area, contributing a unique data resource for social science researchers and providing a focal point for increasing the capacity of multidisciplinary research to contribute to this important research area. Second, we will work closely with practitioners in health and social care so that the study makes a significant contribution to translating into effective health and social care practice the improved knowledge and understanding of ways of addressing the capacity of PwD and PC to live well arising from the findings. Third, the research will provide insights and evidence to support the development of dementia-friendly communities. By focusing on the lived experience of dementia and the daily lives, social relations and physical and social environments of PwD and PC we will be able to examine how everyday social interactions in a range of areas (shopping, travelling, leisure, internet, volunteering, financial, etc) facilitate or present barriers to living well, and to identify ways in which public perceptions of dementia can be improved. In so doing we will identify areas where changes (even at low levels) may improve people's daily lives and disseminate this material to groups working to develop dementia-friendly communities and key public, private and third sector organisations. Throughout the study we will utilise a range of impact pathways involving engagement with the general public, practitioners, service providers and policy-makers. These will include creating a prominent internet and social media presence, developing printed and online materials, contributing to training courses and programmes, conducting regional workshops linked to local research networks, presenting at events and conferences, and contributing articles to practitioner and academic journals. A consensus meeting will be held with the aim of synthesising the research findings to form an action plan identifying what can be done by individuals, practitioners, service providers and policy-makers to enhance the potential for living well with dementia. This will be presented at an end-of-study conference we will organise for practitioners, providers and organisations working in the field, in order to stimulate collaborative working with key stakeholders to address the aims of the action plan. Through these activities we aim to have a significant impact by influencing public perceptions of dementia, enhancing the work of practitioners in health and social care, encouraging the development of new approaches and interventions, contributing to the development of cost-effective service provision, and improving policy.

Impact From members of the public: "Thought provoking" "Broadened our understanding" "As a UCLAN student, I've seen this project develop. It's lovely to see it come so far! Beautiful work Ian, a project that I am attached to with family members suffering with dementia in the past. "A really powerful exhibition, so colourful and inspiring. I hope it helps to raise awareness about dementia and having skills and ideas and needing to still be involved in the community." "Very interesting, It certainly broadened our understanding" Judith Barron, Alzheimer's Society, Bradford Provided feedback from participants: The FIT group met on Zoom this-morning and we talked about their involvement in the design and unfurling of the banner. Here is feedback from 4 people:- Person 1 - "Enjoyed doing the banner and seeing how it all came together, working with and input from Ian Beesley photographer, Ian McMillan poet and Tony Husband cartoonist. Putting our views across and seeing the results" Person 2 - "Really enjoyed, nice to be involved and to know people take notice of what you say" Person 3 - has speech difficulties, but wife showed the unfurling book and the person with dementia pointed to the group photo and commented "great" Person 4 - "Nice and really interesting" In conversation Judith also detailed that the experience was an enjoyable one for all and that the visual medium was particularly beneficial for the group which found written communication challenging. The Unfurlings book was particularly a welcome alternative to the events, providing a visual reminder of what was done. The book, released in April, celebrates the stories behind the banners and the impact the project has had on people living with dementia and their families.

Description We developed an effective means of involving people with dementia and carers in the research programme by creating and facilitating the ALWAYs (Action on Living Well: Asking You) group. This ensured meaningful participation in all aspects of the programme, from developing questionnaires and interview schedules to interpreting and disseminating findings.

We demonstrated the central role of psychological factors in relation to 'living well' with dementia for both people with dementia and carers. While other domains such as physical health and social resources are important, when modelled together using data from a large cohort, psychological factors dominate. 'Living well' was defined as a composite of quality of life, satisfaction with life and well-being. Our initial systematic review indicated that existing evidence did not provide clear recommendations: .sufficient evidence was available only for quality of life, and showed only that many factors have small effects on quality of life. The model developed from IDEAL data, in contrast, provides clear evidence-based indications about where to target efforts aimed at promoting ability to 'live well'.

We presented novel evidence on reciprocal influences on well-being within dementia caregiving dyads. Having modelled 'living well' separately for people with dementia and carers, we examined the way in which each member of the dementia caregiving dyad influences the ability of the other to 'live well'. Few studies have considered even the influence of one member on outcomes for the other, and we are among the first to directly address reciprocal influences. We adapted the actor-partner independence model and, uniquely, were able to include in the model those people with dementia who had no carer participating in the study. We presented evidence that depression and loneliness, when occurring in either member of the dyad, influenced outcomes for both members. In contrast, perceptions of relationship quality influenced outcomes only for the individual holding those perceptions. This has clear implications for refining guidance to practitioners to enable them to target interventions so as to achieve optimum benefit.

We addressed issues of health inequality through further fine-grained analyses of cohort data. We demonstrated a clear relationship between area-level deprivation indices and individual scores on measures of 'living well', with people in less-deprived areas scoring better. This emphasises the need to consider social and environmental influences on 'living well' and how people living with dementia in more deprived areas might be better supported. Similarly we demonstrated differences in ability to 'live well' according to the specific type of dementia, showing that people diagnosed with Parkinsonian dementias and their carers scored on average more poorly on indices of 'living well' than those with other dementia diagnoses. This is thought to be because of the additional physical disabilities they face and in many cases the long period of living with disability prior to the onset of cognitive decline. Again, this evidence supports targeted resourcing to those in greatest need. It also led us to identify new research questions about 'seldom heard' groups, and we obtained further funding to explore these questions.
Exploitation Route Developing a comprehensive model of factors associated with living well with dementia provides a strong evidence-base for a coherent approach to conceptualising the needs of people affected by dementia and actions that can be taken to address these at societal, community, family and individual levels. Our findings are relevant for policy and practice.

For example, our models have been a key source of evidence used in developing the theory of change and measurement framework for the Alzheimer's Society strategy. This is now being applied to evaluate the Society's new Dementia Connect service model for people with dementia. Our findings underpin the Society's new policy position report on carers, and were included in the recent APPG report on dementia and disability. Findings on levels of physical activity in people with dementia and carers are being used to influence businesses and organisations to take action to better support people affected by dementia.

Our linked arts-based programme has led to the 'Unfurlings' movement (www.theunfurlings.org,uk) where groups of people with dementia are producing banners to campaign for change, for example more accessible public transport or more responsive services. The banners are now being shown across England in a touring exhibition to raise awareness.

Description For the first time, IDEAL provides evidence from a large cohort that people with dementia can live well, provided they have the right support in place. Much of this support sits outside the realm of clinical services and instead requires community action, for example from businesses, community centres, and public transport, as well as joined up and coordinated support from the health and social care system. The findings have been widely publicised to a broad range of audiences including policy makers, health and social care professionals, commissioners, people affected by dementia and local communities. In order to enable the findings from IDEAL to be widely disseminated and implemented, we formed a strategic alliance with Alzheimer's Society, one of the leading dementia charities in the UK that provides services to people with dementia as well as undertaking policy and influencing activity. Through various communication channels, we have reached over 250,000 people. To further support the dissemination of the findings and promote public understanding of dementia, photography, poetry and drawings have been used to document what it means to live well with dementia, through the linked A Life More Ordinary knowledge translation project. A series of arts-based outputs such as The Unfurlings and the chapbooks have been produced which provide a positive but realistic portrayal of the experience and impact of living with dementia. Alzheimer's Society posted blogs and internal bulletins on the chapbooks that were read by 1,771 members of staff and volunteers. The Unfurlings is a series of banners for hope and change created by groups of people with dementia, advocating for what helps with living well, such as accessible public transport and technology, and being able to enjoy social contact. Following a major exhibition at the People's History Museum from December 2019 to January 2020, visited by 5,474 people, the banners have been exhibited at Poole Arts Centre (3,500 visitors), Harris Art Gallery Preston (6,895 visitors), Gallery Oldham (6,402 visitors), Penrith Arts Festival (2,500 visitors) and for 6 months in Exeter Library which has on average 1,500 visitors per day. Due to COVID-19 some exhibitions moved online, with evidence of over 2,000 unique views. Several venues had to postpone but further exhibitions are anticipated once COVID restrictions are lifted. The banners have also been published in a book. The model of factors associated with living well from IDEAL was used by Alzheimer's Society to develop a theory of change for their Operations strategy. The model was the driving force to develop a chain of outcomes in order to get from the activities to the overall outcome of 'people able to manage dementia and live better'. Alzheimer's Society are also exploring how the living well scores from the IDEAL cohort for people who are not receiving any support services could be used to support the evaluation of their new service model, Dementia Connect. "The IDEAL study has been one of the key sources of evidence that we've drawn upon in the development of the theory of change and measurement framework for the Society's strategy- the model of the factors associated with living well with dementia has resonated with colleagues across the Alzheimer's Society- both senior leaders and those who are involved in the delivery of support services to people affected by dementia. The theory of change is now being used as the framework to evaluate the Society's new service model- Dementia Connect- and the evidence from this evaluation will be crucial in securing support to roll out the service across England, Wales and Northern Ireland." Laura Freeman, Evaluation and Impact Programme Manager, Alzheimer's Society The findings have also fed into Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Friends, of which there are 3,322,320 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (as of 5 November 2020). The findings also contributed to Dementia Friendly Communities, of which there are 504 in England and Wales. IDEAL included a free text question asking people what could be done to enable them to better live in the community. This data will provide a framework of evidence to help drive the Dementia Friendly Community programme and evaluation. Funding a Research Translation Manager within this grant, based at the Alzheimer's Society, provided a rare opportunity for research, policy and practice to work more closely together. Staff at the Alzheimer's Society were able to comment on interview questions and plans for the analysis to help shape and prioritise the research. In addition, Alzheimer's Society had a direct route of access to the data and findings to drive their work. One example involved Alzheimer's Society working in partnership with Sport England to support people affected by dementia to lead more active lifestyles in their community. IDEAL provides data on the amount of activity that people with dementia and their carers are doing, the impact that having a diagnosis has and how activity levels change as the condition progresses. This provides the data needed to be able to influence people and business to take action to better support people with dementia, as well as stimulating more funding for the work. "The IDEAL findings are so useful to help us evidence and understand people's activity habits. It adds depth to what we have found in smaller focus groups and will certainly support future funding bids to extend this piece of work for longer." Steven McFadyen, Programme Partnerships Officer Sport and Leisure, Alzheimer's Society The finding from IDEAL that 80% of people living with dementia are inactive has been used to underpin a bid to Sport England that will shortly be submitted in December 2020. Another example of where this relationship was fully maximised is a last-minute meeting that Alzheimer's Society staff attended with an MP and a Policy Advisor from the Cabinet Officer to discuss the government's plans for tackling loneliness in people with dementia. Unpublished data from IDEAL on loneliness, social isolation and living alone was used to help steer the meeting. Having access to this data meant the meeting and subsequent planning has been based on the best available loneliness data for people with dementia and their carers. The data from IDEAL on carers has been used to steer Alzheimer's Society's influencing work. Traditionally, Alzheimer's Society has focused its influencing and support on people with dementia. However, they have been able to make use of the data from carers in IDEAL to develop their Policy positions. IDEAL's model of the factors associating with living well for carers of people with dementia resulted in a policy report 'The Fog of Support' being written on the needs of carers that was published in September 2020. The data on the use and cost of health and social care has also been widely used by Alzheimer's Society's policy team. For example, the average amount of time carers spend caring for the person with dementia they care for is quoted in an APPG report 'Hidden No More' on dementia and disability. "The work of the IDEAL team was an essential part of Alzheimer's Society influencing work for 2020. We are calling on the government and local authorities to take action to Fix Dementia Care and improve support for carers. By incorporating the findings of the IDEAL team, our Policy, Public Affairs and Campaigning teams can make sure our work is based on the latest evidence of how best to support carers' wellbeing." Morgan Griffiths-David, Senior Policy Officer, Alzheimer's Society The IDEAL team also received additional funding for the IDEAL COVID-19 Dementia Initiative and were able to feed in emerging evidence into Alzheimer's Society's report 'Worst hit: dementia during coronavirus'. This report has been widely used within policy and influencing activity to shine a light on the challenges people with dementia have been facing in receiving support from health and social care. Following on from the Worst hit report, the Public Affairs team at Alzheimer's Society secured a parliamentary debate, focusing solely on the disproportionate effects of Covid-19 and people affected by dementia. To support this, they continued their public and political campaigning efforts to raise awareness of the reality of dementia in lockdown and the variety of challenges people are facing including that of loneliness and isolation as highlighted from the IDEAL-CDI study. The Society called on all supporters to contact their MP to take part in the debate. As a result MPs were contacted almost 10,000 times in just 10 days, and almost every single UK MP was contacted about the issue, significantly raising the profile of dementia and Covid-19 in Westminster. The debate was effective in demonstrating the range of issues people are facing, most notably the significant challenges of care home restrictions for people living with dementia and the impact on unpaid cares for people living with dementia at home. In addition to the debate, Professor Linda Clare worked with other lead researchers and Alzheimer's Society to submit a joint letter to the Times on 7 November 2020 (available here), challenging government guidance for care homes during the second lockdown that were to be published. Following the joint letter to the editor we received a call from the Daily Mail who expressed an interest in launching a campaign. This led to the Daily Mail Campaign calling on the Government to take the necessary steps to allow care home visits; including multiple front page stories and three double-page spreads. The campaign was praised in a parliamentary debate as MPs were told of the challenges their constituents were being put through by the care home lockdown. Baroness Joan Bakewell, said: 'The toll of Covid is more than physical illness. Isolation in care homes makes people depressed, feeling deserted, without love or hugs. It amounts to cruelty.' On Saturday 14 November 2020, the government published this press release launching a pilot for family members to get regular testing for safer care home visits. In a letter of thanks, Dr Fiona Carragher, Director of Research and Influencing at Alzheimer's Society said: "Without your expertise and the research evidence you provided, we would not have been able to have launched such a successful campaign rooted in evidence and the lived experience of people affected by dementia. Your support has given us the tools by which to make a real difference in this critical area for people with dementia living in care homes and their loved ones." In the next few months we have planned meetings with Alzheimer's Society for our IDEAL data to feed into a stream of work on the personalisation of dementia care and also policy work on social care reform. Thus, just as living well with dementia is complex and multifaceted, the IDEAL programme of work has shown that an epidemiological study can have multiple and intricate applications in the real world setting.

Results and Impact In conjunction with the Centre for Ageing and Dementia Research (CADR), we ran a free public screening of our documentary film 'The World Turned Upside Down' at Aberystwyth Arts Centre cinema. Dr Cathy Charlwood from IDEAL and Prof Charles Musselwhite (CADR, Aberystwyth University) facilitated a discussion of the film's themes with the audience. IDEAL and CADR resources were distributed and Ceredigion Council had a stand to advertise local provision for carers. As a result of this event, 6 further local screenings are now planned or in planning across diverse regions of Wales. The audience reported changes in views such as "Very powerful film. Makes you realise how important it is to raise profile and create a better understanding of dementia. The film was a real inspiration and really makes you take a step back and think about how you talk about dementia. Definitely something I can utilise in Denbighshire as I think it is a great tool for getting people talking in an honest and open way." and "It's given me an understanding of dementia, one that I didn't know I was missing. I think when dementia comes up in my life, I will feel more equipped to not react emotionally, but to be there for the person and stay calm. It's also given me some hope in that there are people and places out there that want to help and can provide education on how and what to do. I also didn't know that dementia is different on a case-by-case basis."

In January 2018, Gallery Oldham announced that they would fund the workshops for another year. All images and poems produced would be deposited into the archive of images being created as part of the 'A Life More Ordinary' project. The group will also invite new members to join.

Results and Impact Title of activity
'Living well with dementia: Implementing what we know' One day workshop/seminar
What was the engagement activity
One day seminar/workshop event targeted at early career researchers in dementia and key stakeholders including people with dementia, carers, practitioners and care providers, community groups and third sector organisations. The purpose was to foster collaboration and networks between those starting out in research and users of research with the aim of improving research impact.
Geographical reach (local, regional, etc.) The event happened in Bangor - the delegates (particularly the stakeholder groups were from North Wales) but the research delegates were more spread including people from the Bradford Dementia group and Brunel University.
Primary audience: The audience was a 50/50 split between early career researchers and stakeholders/users of research (including people with dementia, carers, practitioners (OTs, memory clinic staff, audiology), artists (working on dementia related projects), community groups and third sector representatives (dementia friendly communities for example).

Main purpose of the activity
o Share info -
early career researchers to share their projects with key people who may be affected by their findings
Information sharing across different groups about the research needs people living with or caring for people with dementia have as well as how best to disseminate key findings and help use it to implement change
o Stimulate thinking
Sharing knowledge, experience across the different groups helped to generate ideas about future relationships and partnerships for research
o Improve understanding of other's thinking
Bringing together the different groups - academics, services, people with dementia etc. helped academics better understand the ways people engage with and use research
o Inform decision making
The event was not focussed on key policy change - however, it may have shaped services' decisions regarding the allocation of resources towards engaging with research or pilot projects to help implement a strategy that research has shown to be of benefit.
o Make decisions
The event may help decisions regarding future partnerships and research collaborations

How many people did it reach?: The event was attended by 43 people
Describe the results of the activity: The results of the activity are difficult to predict. The workshop generated some key strategies for helping make research related to living well with dementia more impactful. These are being written up into a document and distributed to all delegates. Delegates lists were shared with the group and new contacts and relationships may be built from the event in the future.
Describe any notable impacts: I think they will be more long term (building of relationships across research and user groups, future research bids for example) Most NB impact of this activity
o Requests for further info: Greater awareness of the studies presented - people asking for slides to be shared so that they could follow the links to the study websites more easily.
o Increase in requests about participation/involvement: People with dementia asking about getting involved in the various studies.
o Plans for future related activity: This was a one off event
o Audience change in views/opinions: Difficult to judge until we see the feedback forms - general view on the day that it was positive to see how much was being done in relation to living well with dementia that they were previously unaware of.
o Own/colleagues change in views: Greater understanding of other large studies - like GREAT and ACTIFCare for example.
o Decision made or influenced

Results and Impact The session shared the IDEAL project ideas around living well with dementia and the principles of re-ablement and person-centeredness. This was followed by discussion among the attendees of their current activities and support for people with dementia in their congregations and the wider community. The result was therefore the stimulation of thought around better care for people with dementia, but also the sharing of ideas between attendees.
IDEAL contains measures of spirituality and religiosity. By attending this day, Dr Ruth Lamont was able to engage in discussion and hear from both church leaders and people with dementia about their experiences of dementia and religion/spirituality. These discussions will feed into ideas around this element of the IDEAL model. In particular, multiple individuals with dementia talked about their faith as a means through which they made sense of their diagnosis, enabling them to continue to live well. They talked of their faith as allowing them to know they are still of importance even when the things that we typically see as making us human fade (e.g. ability to make choices, be independent, to remember), they described how they achieved meaning through sharing their faith with and supporting others with a diagnosis, and they described how their churches had facilitated their continued involvement in meaningful roles.

Results and Impact The event is part the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) annual Festival of Social Science taking place next month. It is part of the Improving the Experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (IDEAL) Project at the University of Exeter.

Dr Nelis said: "Over 850,000 people have a diagnosis of dementia in the UK, our work focuses on how people can 'live well' with dementia. This event will look at how we can better understand the experience of living with dementia and how we can all make a difference and promote accurate portrayals of dementia."

Author Keith Oliver who was diagnosed with early onset dementia at the age of 55, will speak at the event. He will discuss his thoughts on living with Alzheimer's disease, including both the struggles and opportunities he's encountered throughout his diagnosis. He said: "Initially it was such a shock. I hadn't expected dementia at all. I was busy and successful and I loved my job. Yet even on that first day, when I got the diagnosis, I said to my wife 'when one door closes, another door opens'. At that point, I had no idea what those new doors would hold, but actually a lot of it has been very positive."

Researcher Dr Alex Hillman will also be speaking at the event, and will be sharing images like those we often view on TV to encourage audience members to reflect on how dementia is portrayed in mainstream media, and how this media depiction may shape their own views, as well as the experiences of those who live with the condition.

Steve Milton from Innovations in Dementia - a community interest company that works collaboratively with people with dementia to enhance their lives - will then lead a discussion on this topic, focusing specifically on how we can shift the way people with dementia are, often negatively, defined and described in the media.

Results and Impact 60 people (health-care professionals, researchers and people with dementia and their carers) heard about the IDEAL study, its linked arts project and ALWAYs group through a symposium. Three people with dementia and three people who are/have cared for someone with dementia from the IDEAL ALWAYs group talked during the symposium, sharing their personal experiences of advising on the IDEAL programme to an audience of 60 people. The group were overwhelmingly positive about their involvement in the ALWAYs group and talked about the benefits they get from sharing their experiences in a safe and friendly environment.
The audience also provided much positive feedback e.g. Feedback from attendees- "Good talks, interesting to ensure value with PPI, great ideas" and "Provided a great insight to all the work being conducted".

The session led to people thinking differently and wanting to implement change in their work practices with people with dementia:
Feedback from attendee:
"Made me think about how we give our info to PPI - need to improve this"
"The 'being useful' by being part of the research project is something I can utilise at work. I am part of the CRT project at [carehome name redacted] and I can highlight how helpful/useful the residents would be in contributing to the research and how it will help others in the future."

As well as leading to changes in thought and thinking around future plans, the symposium engaged people with the research for future dissemination. Seven people gave their contact details to receive updates on the project.
The session also received a lot of attention during and afterwards on Twitter, encouraging further awareness of IDEAL and the agenda to increase the ability to live well with dementia.

Results and Impact The IDEAL Programme held an event to discuss findings from the study and to develop an action plan for people living with dementia. Through the event, we were able to successfully engage with a range of potential knowledge users for the findings, including policy makers, service managers, health and social care professionals, third sector colleagues and people with dementia and their carers. This helped to raise awareness of the IDEAL cohort and the findings to date. It also provided a platform to engage with knowledge users to shape the next steps of the research. This will ensure the findings are relevant to their intended audiences and will, therefore, maximise the impact. During the event, attendees developed an action plan for policy and practice in response to the findings to improve the quality of life for people with dementia. This stimulated commitment from attendees to take their own actions, and also developed ideas for actions that other people could be taking and where we should be focusing our influencing efforts.

This is a complex question which receives a lot of media attention as both the underfunding of the NHS and projected significant increases in dementia diagnoses make headlines. In this webinar, experts discussed their perspectives on such things as funding gaps, underappreciated costs and more. Drawing on IDEAL's research but also a wider constellation of research endeavours. In this session participants heard from: Professor Martin Knapp, Professor of Health and Social Care Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), based in the Health Policy Department and Co-Investigator on IDEAL Programme.

Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact "In the sixth session of the IDEAL Webinar Series, we discussed dementia representations. How, though, do people with dementia understand the condition, and why does this make a difference? How people think about a condition changes their behaviour around it from public acts (i.e. whether or not they will seek a diagnosis), through to private motivations (i.e. whether they will share with family members if and when they are finding things hard). Some of the most exciting results coming out of the IDEAL cohort study concern how people with dementia and carers see dementia, and the impact this has on them. Following the logic of 'illness representations', we call these mental models of dementia 'dementia representations'. RADIX (produced by Clare et al) provides a means of measuring dementia representations. While this research focuses on how people affected by dementia understand dementia, we also discuss what it might tell us about public (prototype) representations. In this session participants heard from: Professor Linda Clare, Professor of Clinical Psychology of Ageing and Dementia at the University of Exeter and Chief Investigator on the IDEAL programme.
Allison and Jane, both members of the ALWAYs group of people with dementia and carers will share their perspectives on this topic."

The event took place on 23 May 2018 during Dementia Action Week. Local media were also in attendance. Following the event, Ian Beesley has had several requests to display the banner at other venues, for example, at Scarborough Football Club and the People's History Museum in Manchester which holds a large collection of banners.

The event was held as part of the ESRC's Festival of Social Science. It highlighted two important strands of the Improving the Experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (IDEAL) programme: understanding the factors that can help people with dementia to live well and the role of creative arts in providing new insights into how people with dementia can live well. Prof Christina Victor provided an overview of the IDEAL project and discussed some of our early findings. Then photographer Ian Beesley, one of the artists involved in our creative arts-based `A Life More Ordinary' project, showed some examples of the images and poetry created during the project and discussed the impact it has had on the people with dementia, carers and other supporters who have collaborated with the artists. Feedback from attendees was positive and many found it an interesting and informative event. The 'A Life More Ordinary' project was particularly inspiring.

Results and Impact "A 6 page leaflet produced for people living with dementia with tips to make things more manageable throughout lockdown during the Coronavirus outbreak. Building on findings from the 'Improving the experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life' research programme, the team has produced a leaflet for carers of those living with dementia. The leaflet is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), in a project led by the University of Exeter and the NIHR Older People and Frailty Policy Research Unit, with partners including Alzheimer's Society, Manchester University, Bradford University and Brunel University London. Disseminated widely and referenced by practitioners and government. Also translated into Welsh.

Feedback

From members of the public:
I wonder whether it might be possible to have a copy of the leaflet sent to [my dad]? He is finding the whole situation really difficult and I am finding it hard not being with him.
The Chair of Southwark pensioners whose mother is living with dementia 'thought that the leaflet was very useful and has circulated it to her contacts in South London'.

From NHS colleagues:
The leaflet has been recommended to services across the south-west after being mentioned in a Dementia Implementation Group. This led to follow-up contact from services, for example a request from a Principal Psychologist in Cornwall NHSFT.

Following translation into Welsh:
Mae hwnna'n bamffled bach da dydi. Hawdd i'w ddefnyddio i'r tymor hir - pan fydd y Covid wedi pasio - achos mae'n crynhoi y 5 ffordd at lesiant mewn ffordd syml.

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact An art project involving people living with dementia has led to a book as well as an art exhibition that has been moved online to be enjoyed by all during Coronavirus lockdown.
In the Unfurlings: Banners for Hope & Change project, a trio of well-known artists worked with groups of people to create banners with those living with dementia to create banners that express their experiences and highlight ways of enabling them to live as well as possible with dementia. Photographer Ian Beesley, poet Ian McMillan, and cartoonist Tony Husband worked with people living with dementia and their carers to create the banners as part of the 'A Life More Ordinary' project which originated from research at the University of Exeter.
Through the project, the artists have worked with a number of groups of people affected by dementia around the country, including Exeter, Kent, Oldham, York, Leeds, Bradford and Scarborough, taking a different approach in each area tailored to the group.
The banners are now featured in an online exhibition at The Harris in Preston whilst a book is being released to celebrate the success of the project. The book, released in April, celebrates the stories behind the banners and the impact the project has had on people living with dementia and their families.

Results and Impact "An online exhibition of The Unfurlings:Banners for Hope and Change exhibition at the Harris Museum in part of the 'A life More Ordinary' project . Based on traditional trade union and guild designs, there are 9 banners in total, covering subjects such as the need for better signage in public places, and the importance of active living and creativity for our wellbeing. Each banner is accompanied by a poem by McMillan.
Feedback from members of 'Preston's Focus on Dementia Action group'. Participants from the group reported: "I felt that our input was valued - and that was an important thing. Worthwhile thing to join in with. To have your views accepted & listened to. Or to have your views listened it. For example, it was great to be asked to contribute to review of signage/the welcome in the Harris building and how we could make it easier to navigate. Great to see that advice put into action in the Welcome area/reception."
" There was a great atmosphere & everyone was encouraged to join in with this project. Would like to see these opportunities broadened out to other people. Like to see more of this happen in the future. More co-production."

The session enabled people to reflect on their work practices:
Feedback from attendee- "Great, as ever, to hear the real experiences- all of these reflect back on my work"

Results and Impact "Well I Know Now with Pippa Kelly is a podcast in which she and her guests discuss what their dementia experiences have taught them. From profound life lessons to the importance of professionals who truly understand and the joy to be found in the smallest things. Tony Husband, Ian Beesley and Ian McMillan talk to Pippa Kelly about their collaboration on the Unfurlings banners and talk about the IDEAL project.
Brought together in 2018 through a series of workshops in Exeter, the trio - along with people with dementia - compiled comments, poems, cartoons & photographs to help the public better understand what it's really like to live with the condition.
And in that same year, the first banner was created with Yorkshire dementia & empowerment project, or DEEP, who were campaigning for those living with dementia to be better served by public transport. The Right to a Grand Day Out, as it's called with a nod to Wallace & Gromit, was unfurled in the middle of the rush hour at York station, with Ian McMillan reading his poems. Which is altogether a wonderful image.
Many more banners followed - from the Young Dementia Leeds Cottingley Crew marching forward together against dementia to the Budding Friends Allotment Project in Exeter digging for memory & growing stories, the Hamari Yaadeen South Asian dementia café in Leeds & Bradford's Face It Together group who work with local businesses to make facilities such as cash machines more accessible.
What links them all is colour, humour, understanding, warmth, local knowledge & a sense of shared history. Banners traditionally represented hope for the future, they showed what ordinary people could achieve when they united in a common cause.
