| Understanding of the experiences of family carers relating to their provision of personal care to people living with dementia measured using a survey and interviews with an Appreciative Inquiry methodology within an Implementation Science framework by the end of the project. Survey findings will sequentially inform interviews yet all Work Packages (survey, interviews, coproduction) will be inter-connected and supported by the use of Data Displays developed to link the different elements of the study and integrate analyses. A co-production Work Package will produce core training resources for within-study piloting and evaluation. | — |
