Welcome to DSDC
Based at the University of Stirling, DSDC uses research to inform practice, and practice to inform research providing comprehensive resources for anyone supporting someone living with a dementia, both personally and professionally.
“Our mission is to improve the lives of people with a dementia.”
We are proud to offer services which are underpinned by research and forge a valuable link between global communities and researchers. These include free resources such as our Carers Hub and Dementia-friendly Map.
We are a member of the University’s Centre for Environment, Dementia and Ageing Research group, CEDAR, which has a strong emphasis on the inclusion of people living with dementia in their research practices.
From family carers and volunteers to health care professionals, architects, and product designers, we offer a range of evidence-based resources to provide the understanding and knowledge appropriate for your role. We do this through:
-
All of our training and events are underpinned by the latest research and are delivered by our experienced multi-disciplinary team of nurses, consultants, architects, and designers.
-
DSDC provides a range of resources which cover a variety of topics from care provision to the design of environments and products for people living with dementia.
-
DSDC’s multi-disciplinary team works with organisations to integrate design for ageing and dementia into their products, environments and provision of services for people living with dementia.
