Venue Information Rutherglen Town Hall 139 Main St, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73 2JJ Speakers Biography Dr Louise McCabe My career in the dementia field started through my work as a care worker in residential care homes for people with dementia in Scotland in 1996. I went on from there to join the dementia research team at the University of Stirling in 2000 and have remained as an academic member of staff within the Faculty of Social Sciences since then. I have a background in natural sciences and psychology and currently work mainly with the disciplines of gerontology and dementia studies. My research interests focus on improving the lives of people with dementia and their carers through research that engages directly with individuals. To date my work has included research on social policy and services for people with dementia; policy and service issues for people with alcohol related dementia; comparative studies of day services; the impact of physical activity in general and in care homes, the use of assistive technology and the experiences of frontline health and social care staff. My core interests are about culture and lifestyle; exploring how different factors influence individual experiences of dementia. I have broad skills in social research with a specialist interest in user-participation in research utilising qualitative approaches.
