The conditions dementias and neurodegenerative disorders (including Alzheimer’s)’affect at least 47,000 people in Wales, a significant number of whom are of working age. Meeting their needs effectively continues to be one of the major challenges for health and social care services. This study has indicated that there is a strong basis for research in this area to continue to develop in Wales. Currently funded projects bring in external funds of over five million pounds, and over 200 publications with input from researchers in Wales have appeared in the scientific literature over the last five years. Current research covers the whole range from basic biochemical and genetic research to research on service delivery and policy. There is a wide geographical spread of the current research.

Over the past five years, there has been increasing interest in Wales and other countries of the UK in research in the field of rural and remote health, social care and wellbeing. There is recognition that a large proportion of the population of Wales live in rural areas but that there is a lack of research evidence on their health, social care and well-being needs. Research has tackled a broad range of topics which can be briefly categorised as: older people (e.g. dementia, barriers to accessing healthcare, psychiatric morbidity in older people); children and young people (e.g. children and domestic violence, the uptake of childhood immunisation in rural areas, unintended teenage pregnancy and reducing sexually transmitted infection); mental health (e.g. depressive disorders, community mental health promotion, suicide); pregnancy and antenatal carep; farmers (e.g. improving access to healthcare for farming)
