SPIN Dementia Network Plus

SPIN-D Network+: sustainable prevention, innovation and involvement for dementia

Mission and vision

SPIN Dementia Network Plus (SPIN-D Network+) is a dynamic network focused on reducing the risk of dementia, delaying early symptoms, and lessening its impact through support and care. We aim to create a future where dementia is understood, prevented, and effectively managed.

A global challenge

With over 55 million people affected by dementia worldwide and no cure available, SPIN-D Network+ tackles this challenge through innovative research, knowledge sharing, and community engagement. We bring together researchers, healthcare professionals, individuals living with dementia, and their families to work towards solutions.

Aims and objectives

Research and innovation: advancing understanding of brain health and dementia prevention through new therapies, diagnostic tools, and preventive strategies.
Public awareness and community engagement: promoting healthy lifestyle changes and supporting community-based programmes for brain health through research involvement and advocacy.

Collaborative approach

SPIN-D Network+ is committed to working alongside individuals, families, and communities to build a society better equipped to face the challenges of dementia.

The University of Plymouth is leading work on supporting and capacity building early career researchers.
