Feedback on DemECH resources wanted 

ByJDCteam

The Association for Dementia Studies (ADS) at the University of Worcester has shared a survey to gather feedback on the DemECH resources (booklets, infographic and videos) that we originally reported on here: https://journalofdementiacare.co.uk/new-extra-care-housing-resources. 

The survey is for anyone who has used, or intends to use, the resources to share how useful they’ve been. It’s part of the impact evaluation that the University of Worcester are undertaking as part of The Research Excellence Framework (REF) process, which looks at how research creates an impact in the real-world outside of academia. 

The survey can be found here: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/ucw/demech-resources-impact-evaluation-duplicate. It takes around 10 minutes to complete, and participation is anonymous.
