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 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.
