Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is linked to an increased chance of developing dementia, affecting 20% of over 65s. Research suggests that people with MCI need better support to reduce their dementia risk and maintain their wellbeing.

Aims

Through this award Becky will develop a research funding application focused on co-developing a complex intervention to support the wellbeing of people with MCI, using a public health approach.
