A new website called ‘Active Brains’ aims to help older adults to look after their brain and body health to prevent cognitive decline. The website supports older adults to make simple behavioural changes such as increasing physical activity, playing brain training games and finding ways to eat more healthily.
This study will trial the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of ‘Active Brains’. The trial will recruit two groups of older adults: 1) those with signs of cognitive decline 2) those without any cognitive decline |
This study is about chest infections and worsening of asthma, COPD and heart failure. We want to understand: (a) what impact these illnesses have on patients and the NHS; (b) how many of these illnesses could be prevented by vaccination (e.g. with COVID vaccines and other vaccines that are being developed); and (c) what groups of patients might benefit most from vaccination. For patients who choose to take part, we will collect information (data) from their GP records about them and their illness; collect samples from their nose, throat, saliva and urine; and ask them to complete a diary about their symptoms and wellbeing. We will send participants “Love to Shop” vouchers to reimburse them for their time. Patients who are eligible to take part will be contacted by phone and, wherever possible, the study team will ask their permission to use their data.
