Dr. Laura O'Philbin:

Yes absolutely. One of the great privileges of working in an organisation like the Alzheimer Society of Ireland is that we get to see the whole research cycle. I can take a piece of research, find my outcomes and hand it to my colleagues in advocacy or in communications. I can also hand it to my colleagues in operations who will then make changes depending on the findings of the research. Our day care at home service has just been evaluated and we launched it a couple of weeks ago. We are now improving and refining that service due to those findings. It is the same with our creating a dementia-inclusive generation service, which is our transition year awareness programme that delivers education.

Even things like cognitive stimulation therapy will have a tangible output.
