Published: Dec. 29, 2021, midnight

We’re finishing the year with 5 special themed podcasts sharing some of the narrated blogs we’ve published throughout the year, introduced by Adam Smith. So far this week we’ve absorbed some science, shared tips for new researchers, but today it’s all about people living with dementia, who should be at the heart of all our research endeavours. We’re going to hear about the importance of patient and public involvement, and hear how researcher adapted to ensure they can keep research going even when qualitative research moves online. Bethany McLoughlin, PhD Student from University of Warwick shares experiences from taking her research online is a blog titled "Conducting Qualitative Interviews Online During COVID-19".
