Memory loss and physical frailty amongst people experiencing homelessness: learning from two new research studies

December 12 @ 10:00 - 11:30

Memory loss and physical frailty amongst people experiencing homelessness: learning from two new research studies

Part of the HSCWRU Homelessness Webinar Series: www.kcl.ac.uk/events/series/homelessness-series

People who experience homelessness are more likely to have memory loss and physical frailty than the general population, but it can be hard for practitioners to identify and address these unmet needs.

Penny Rapaport will discuss emerging findings from a project exploring how we can best support people experiencing homelessness and memory problems, and will present a new codesigned staff support intervention for staff. She will share learning and reflections and potential areas for action going forward. Penny Rapaport is Professor of Psychological Interventions in Dementia at UCL, NIHR Advanced Fellow and Pathway Clinical Research Fellow.

Jo Dawes will discuss her research findings about the early onset and high proportions of physical frailty in people experiencing homelessness, from her analysis of health survey information, and will share messages for practitioners. Jo Dawes is a physiotherapist and NIHR Research Fellow undertaking a PhD at UCL. She was previously a physiotherapist within a specialist health and social care team for people experiencing homelessness.
