'The awards are part of a very deliberate and focused plan to improve dementia care', says Graham Love, the Chief Executive of the Health Research Board.

'They are aligned with the National Dementia Strategy and they all focus on improving quality of life for people living with dementia and those caring for them. From making our hospitals more friendly for dementia patients, or using technology to remotely track health markers like patient blood pressure and weight, each of these new projects will make a very real and tangible impact on people's lives and improve how we deliver their healthcare services'.
