Edinburgh Centre for Research on the Experience of Dementia (E-CRED) Image @istock.com/Aleksandar Nakik (posed by models) E-CRED is an interdisciplinary group of dementia researchers, people with dementia, dementia practitioners and representatives from a range of dementia organisations. We are interested in exploring and developing theories, methods and impact around the experience of living with dementia in order to create international social research and impact that prioritises the experience of dementia and strengthens global understanding of living with dementia. At the heart of E-CRED is our commitment to better understand the experiences of people with dementia and how these experiences shape and are shaped by UK and international policy, practice and society. We remain responsive to changing needs and agendas, as well as funding opportunities, and provide a research and learning environment that creates opportunities for the sharing of knowledge and skills focusing on improving the lived experience of dementia. The perspective of the person with dementia is central to this work: ‘putting the person first’. This article was published on 2024-08-28
