Dr Caroline Swarbrick
Senior Lecturer in AgeingProfile
I joined the Centre for Health Research in February 2019 as Senior Lecturer and have a social science background. My research area focuses on dementia, adopting participatory approaches and using a range of qualitative creative, visual and sensory methods, including film, animation and music-making. My research involves working collaboratively alongside people living with dementia and care partners as co-researchers. My current research includes a study funded by the EPSRC exploring the use of digital technology in older people. I am also involved in the ESRC/NIHR Dementia Network Plus Working with Dementia programme led by the University of West Scotland.
Prior to joining the Division, I was a Research Fellow and deputy of the Dementia and Ageing Research Team at the University of Manchester. Previous projects include: ESRC/NIHR Neightbourhoods and Dementia mixed methods study; NIHR HSDR ‘The detection and management of pain in patients with dementia in acute care settings’.
