You can find out about my journey from care worker to dementia care researcher here:
Tamara’s research journey began in the corridors of care homes and the daily routine of helping people living with dementia wash, dress and retain their dignity in small but significant ways.
Her practical experience would later shape her academic path and with support from the NIHR and @alzheimerssoc Tamara now leads research to improve personal care assistance for people with dementia in care homes.

ALT As a care worker, I assisted people with dementia with their daily activities and through this role, was able to gain some insights into the daily experiences of care home residents. Following my PhD, it was only natural that I pursued my research interests in dementia care and care homes.
Looking forward to speaking at the Palliative Care Research Conference in June 😊
We have some fantastic keynote speakers lined up for our Palliative Care Research Conference this June! Tickets are still available, and we’re now offering online entry too! Book your place here: loom.ly/RqEAMmw
