Unpaid carers wanted for CareCoach study 

ByCommunity Team

If you support a family member or friend living with dementia, researchers on the CareCoach study would like to hear from you. 

CareCoach is an online support package, broken into modules, that focuses on helping unpaid carers develop knowledge, skills and confidence to care more effectively for a person living with dementia and improve the carer’s quality of life. Carers using CareCoach are supported and guided by a ‘coach’ (a health, social care or dementia charity worker).
