Join Dementia Research

Dementia affects more than 850,000 people in the UK, and over 25 million people in the UK have a friend or family member with dementia.

Dementia research offers some hope. It can help people living with the condition now, as well as helping to prevent people from developing dementia in the future.  But for research to progress, researchers need more people to volunteer to take part in more studies.

This is why Join Dementia Research has been set up.  It is a service which allows people to register their interest in taking part in dementia research and be matched to suitable studies.

If you would like to help research teams across the UK who are working to improve our understanding about the condition, develop effective treatments, improve care and maybe one day find a cure, you can sign up to Join Dementia Research at:


Anyone over the age of 18 can sign up, including people with dementia or memory problems, carers for people with dementia or memory problems, and anyone else who is interested in supporting dementia research.

By signing up, you will be able to:

  •          Find out more about studies you might be able to take part in;
  •          Connect with researchers to show an interest in their studies;
  •          Help to improve dementia care and treatment.
