The focus of Joining Dementia Research is to increase the recruitment of volunteers, increase the numbers on the research register, match them to appropriate studies, and increase participation whilst informing volunteers of research opportunities. Anyone, with or without dementia, can register as a volunteer or sign-up for someone else, providing that you have their consent. Signing up is the first step in becoming involved in supporting vital research studies.

The Herbert Protocol allows the families of people living with dementia to prepare in case they go missing. A standardised form can be completed listing places where the person with dementia used to live, work, or enjoy spending time. This can help the police quickly check a number of likely locations where the person living with dementia can be found.
