Dr
Catherine Quinn is an Associate Professor at the Centre of Applied Dementia
Studies at the University of Bradford (https://www.bradford.ac.uk/dementia/ )
where she teaches modules on post-diagnostic support and living well with
dementia. Catherine has been
involved in dementia research for over 20 years. She has been involved in major
research studies involving people living with dementia and carers. She is currently Co-PI on the DYNAMIC study which focuses on improving social care
planning and provision for people with young onset dementia and their families.
She is also a member of the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Dementia and
Neurodegeneration (DeNPRU Exeter).
Catherine is the Bradford University Healthy Ageing Theme Lead for Wolfson
Centre for Applied Health Research. She is a member of the NIHR Dementias
Portfolio Development Group and the Older People’s theme of the NIHR Applied
Research Collaboration (ARC), Yorkshire & Humber. She is also a Fellow
of Advance HE.
Catherine’s research focuses on improving the quality of
life of those affected by dementia. First, through gaining a better
understanding of the experiences of those affected by dementia and the factors
that affect their quality of life. Second, by developing interventions to
improve the quality of life of those affected by dementia. She has a particular
interest in the experiences of carers, positive experiences in providing care
and relationship dynamics. She has expertise in cohorts, qualitative methodology,
and patient and public involvement.
