Co-authored by Prof Linda Clare, Director of DeNPRU Exeter and Prof Yun-Hee Jeon from the University of Sydney, the 2025 report explores rehabilitation for people living with dementia.

Authored by Jorge Gomez Magenti and Martin Knapp, this report exploring dementia research project funding aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the dementia research landscape in the UK.

This report concludes our project about living alone. The report outlines the evidence on living alone with a progressive neurological condition and draws key policy recommendations on how these inequalities can be addressed.

This is the second interim report from our project which focuses specifically on Parkinson’s disease and other related conditions. This report identifies applied research literature in four themes: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care (including end-of-life) and evidence from published surveys about the research priorities of people living with the condition, their families and healthcare professionals.

This is the first interim report from our project which focuses specifically on Parkinson’s disease and related conditions. This report details the first stage of the project: identifying all UK-based grants from the past 10 years and the respective amounts of funding allocated to our four themes of interest: prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care (including end-of-life care).

This is the first report from our project that looks at how effective prevention initiatives are at reducing reliance on social care. This report outlines the findings from a review of existing research on assessing how neurodegenerative conditions affect social care needs, including unpaid and formal services.

This report shares findings from the first work package of our project ‘Reducing inequalities across the care pathway for minority ethnic communities’. The focus here is on campaigns which improve awareness and reduce stigma of neurodegenerative conditions. The report details the campaigns found and their characteristics; research into evaluating such campaigns; and what we learned through stakeholder consultation with experts by experience and professionals.
