Gill鈥檚 research aims to improve the health, wellbeing and resilience of older people, people with dementia and their supporters, and improve care and service provision.

Gill leads and contributes to mixed-methods studies and intervention trials, and has led and contributed to externally won research funding totalling 拢19,858,090.00, representing 拢10,464,912.00 from UK Research Councils (ERSC; MRC; AHRC),听 拢7,142,988.00 from Welsh Government research infrastructure awards and 拢 2,102,190.00 from other sources including the Wellcome Trust. Her most research achievement is the award of 拢1,480,000.00 from the National Institute of Health Research to lead a randomised controlled trial of a digital health intervention to help dementia carers develop skills and take care of themselves.

Her work has informed Welsh policy development, and in 2001 as a post-graduate research assistant she co-authored six literature reviews with Professor Vanessa Burholt to inform the development of the first Strategy for Older People in Wales. She also led a review to inform the Healthy Ageing Action Plan (Welsh Assembly Government 2005). Following her PhD in 2006, she was seconded to the Older People鈥檚 Strategy Unit at the Welsh Assembly Government during the 2006/07 interim review period of the strategy, and was a member of the Strategy Advisory Group.

Between 2016 and 2018 she was a member of the Welsh Government dementia strategy task and finish group, and is currently a member of a Welsh Government group overseeing the implementation and impact of the dementia strategy. As part of this work, she is involved in two working groups (implementation of dementia care standards; learning and development), and the North Wales dementia strategy implementation steering group.

In recognition of her work she was awarded a personal chair by 麻豆传媒高清版 in 2018.

Current PhD projects:

Bethan Naughton Morgan. 'Adapting an e-health intervention i-Support for carers of people living with rare dementias. (ESRC studentship).

Laura Braithwaite Stuart. 'Exploring communication in dementia: An intergenerational family systems approach'. (NHS studentship).

Hannah Jelly. 'Co-Creating a resilience-building framework for people with dementia and their carers鈥. (HCRW social care studentship).

I'm particularly interested in highly motivated, output-focussed people who are interested in health, wellbeing and resilience in later life; interventions to support older people and their carers to age well;听 living as well as possible with chronic and degenerative health conditions, such as dementia.

2023 - Excellent MSc project opportunties! Secondary analysis of existing data (quantitative) - topics include i) hearing loss, cognitive function and the links with loneliness; ii) resilience in carers of people living with rare dementias; iii) validation of an established resilience outcome measure for use with dementia carers.

There are also possible opportunities within my recent grant which is looking at supporting people living with dementia, including those with rare dementias.

  • The Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) successfully hosted the Wales Dementia Conference 2024 in Deganwy as part of the 25th anniversary of the DSDC celebrations.

    Over 90 delegates from across Wales engaged in discussions about the future of dementia care and support. The conference brought together people living with dementia, carers, researchers, health and care professionals, emphasising the importance of collaboration in shaping better care.

    A key highlight of the day was the launch of the Knowledge is Power for Carers booklet, a resource created by carers for carers, supported by DSDC researchers, available in both Welsh and English. This essential guide provides crucial information to those supporting individuals living with dementia and was well-received by attendees.

    A diverse range of presenters delivered insightful talks, including the Welsh Ambulance Trust, NHS, Dementia Hub Swansea, with people living with dementia and their carers sharing their experiences throughout the day while attendees contributed to discussions on improving dementia services. The bilingual conference ensured accessibility, with simultaneous translation headsets provided for participants.

    Gill Windle, Professor of Ageing and Dementia Research, said, 鈥淭his was another excellent event designed and delivered by the DSDC team. Feedback from delegates indicates they enjoyed the wide variety of presentations where we heard about excellent service innovations such as transforming ambulances, using national museums to support wellbeing, understanding a person鈥檚 life story to enable people in care homes to eat and drink well, the importance of the Welsh language in dementia care, the benefits of arts activities and movement to music, which included all the delegates taking part in a reviving session led by Gwynedd Council鈥檚 Dementia Actif team. We heard throughout the day from people with dementia and their carers about their experiences, including Bangor鈥檚 own Caban Group, which delegates found especially important. It was also a great opportunity to share our latest research and all the different products our work has inspired.鈥

    The Knowledge is Power booklet will soon be available on the DSDC website. For hard copies please contact Dr. Jen Roberts: j.roberts@bangor.ac.uk

  • A diagnosis of dementia can be life-altering with post-diagnosis support advice often described as overwhelming or lacking. Recent research on resilience suggests that a sense of purpose and peer support contribute to a strengths-based approach. The Knowledge is Power series developed from discussions within a peer group of dementia advocates and educators working together to share important information and useful adaptations for people following a diagnosis of dementia to maintain or explore new interests. Human-centered design principles informed the creative process adopting four phases to Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver the booklets. Members of Dementia Engagement and Empowerment Project (DEEP) groups across Wales were invited to suggest the content based on their own experiences and were instrumental in the booklet design and promotion. Academics and Graphic designers helped to format, translate, and distribute the booklets. Hard copies and online versions of the first bilingual Knowledge is Power 1 booklet in Wales (Welsh and English) have been distributed to health and social care practitioners, third-sector organisations, and members living with dementia. The second edition, 鈥淜nowledge is Power 2: Handy and helpful tips for day-to-day life with dementia鈥 was completed in 2022. Feedback from the first edition informed a revised edition in 2023 with increasing demand for copies. A bilingual (Scottish Gaelic and English) booklet was subsequently created in Scotland highlighting the importance of providing information that is accessible and respects people's native language. Information on the process and feedback will be shared to support others that may wish to develop national post-diagnosis resources. This contributes to the process of co-creating support with rather than for people living with dementia.

    Description

    NHS guidelines recommend informal carers of people living with dementia such as family and friends should be offered training to help them develop care skills and manage their own physical and mental health. The World Health Organisation recommend access to affordable, proven, well-designed, online technologies for education, skills training and support for dementia carers.

    In response to these recommendations, we will carry out the first study in the UK of the benefits of an online training and support programme. This was developed by the World Health Organisation and is called 鈥榠厂耻辫辫辞谤迟鈥. It is designed for dementia carers to help them provide good care and take care of themselves. Carers can use iSupport at their own pace. They can access whichever parts of iSupport they feel are most relevant to them from their place of choice using a computer, tablet or smartphone.

    We will do this research with the help of 356 dementia carers in England, Wales and Scotland by:

    1. Examining the effectiveness of iSupport in reducing distress through a randomised controlled trial. Half of the carers will complete iSupport and half will receive information leaflets. We will translate iSupport into Welsh for use in this aspect of our research. All the carers will answer questionnaires about stress and strain, mental health, resilience and knowledge of dementia. They will do this three times over a six month period. By comparing the two groups, we will be able to show whether iSupport is better than simply giving information. Those receiving the information leaflets will be given full access to iSupport at the end of our study.

    2. Understanding what aspects of iSupport carers like the most, and what might put them off using it. We will undertake interviews with a smaller group (50) of the carers and have a longer discussion about their thoughts, feelings and the impact of iSupport on themselves. They will do this three times over a six month period.

    3. Examining the potential costs and benefits of iSupport. This will involve carers answering questions about health and social care service use and their quality of life. They will do this three times over a six month period.

    4. Adapting iSupport for young carers (age 11-17). There are currently no evidence-based support interventions for young carers of people with dementia. We will work with a group of young carers and adapt iSupport for their use, identify what outcomes are most important to them, and assess this new version of iSupport with 30 young carers.

    It is important we do this work because most people living with a dementia are cared for at home, supported by a family member or friend who has limited knowledge of the condition. The role is very stressful, and many carers experience more mental and physical illness compared to people who are not dementia carers. Covid-19 has meant that many older people have to self-isolate, placing

    increasing pressures on carers.

    If we show iSupport helps carers, service providers will benefit by knowing there is a proven service they can recommend to dementia carers. Carers will benefit from reductions in psychological distress and improvements in skills and resilience. People living with dementia will benefit from a better equipped carer. Society will potentially benefit from reduced care costs, as improving care at home can delay care-home admission.

    From the very start of the study, we will develop a comprehensive plan for ensuring our findings are communicated to people who need to hear about them. We will do this together with our collaborators, who include people living with dementia, carers, as well as academics, clinicians, charities along with the World Health Organisation.

    Description

    The Centre for Ageing & Dementia Research (CADR) will cultivate an integrated research Centre in Wales delivering world-class interdisciplinary and translational research and nurture the development of a critical mass of researchers with expertise and competencies in a holistic (eco-bio-psycho-social) approach to research on ageing. Eco: The physical environment in which we live encompassing mobility (transport systems), the natural world (aesthetics, climate, natural resources), the built environment (rural/urban neighbourhoods, homes/housing). Bio: The body as a biological system including brain, disease, injury. Psycho: Cognitive processes (thinking) that influence the way experiences are interpreted. Social: The cultural, social and community systems1 of interacting people(s) with different levels of access, privilege and power. Importance of CADR Our new approach is underpinned by the World Health Organization鈥檚 (2015) definition of healthy ageing. Every person [鈥 should have the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. Yet, [鈥 environments are highly influential on our behaviour, our exposure to health risks [鈥, our access to quality health and social care and the opportunities that ageing brings. Healthy Ageing is about creating the environments and opportunities that enable people to be and do what they value throughout their lives. CADR鈥檚 strength is our holistic approach to addressing a societal 鈥榞rand challenge鈥 and the opportunities posed by longevity. We aim to improve the lives of older people and carers through the integration of research on ageing, policy and practice. Our outputs will respond to national and global priority areas for unmet need: improving opportunities to live a long and healthy life; improving health and social care systems (including long-term care); creating age friendly environments; and helping to diminish the impact of dementia. Our work will be delivered through 4 interlinked work packages (WPs): WP1: Environments of Ageing (Eco) WP2: Characterising dementia and cognition in ageing (Bio) WP3: Social inclusion for health and wellbeing in later life (Psycho and Social) WP4: Research methods, public and professional engagement and involvement Strategic Objectives We will generate new knowledge by: Including health and social care services Forging a shared mission to deliver an interdisciplinary understanding of ageing and dementia Providing the infrastructure to enable leading researchers in ageing and dementia research to compete globally Developing and building research capacity underpinning increased grant capture, establishing essential research resources, novel skills and technologies, and building critical mass for PhD students and early career researchers Providing a platform for collaborations and internationally competitive interdisciplinary and translational research that will have impact on the health and wellbeing of older people To address health and social care needs of older people in Wales we will: 飩 Involve and engage the public to ensure that research addresses the needs of older people, people with dementia and carers 飩 Facilitate translation of eco-bio-psycho-social findings into clinical and social care practice 飩 Involve and engage policy makers and practitioners, establishing research priorities and collaborations and working with them to improve services for older people 飩 Develop and facilitate business and clinical linkages, contributing to the health and wealth of Wales as well as enhancing the Life Science sector

    Description

    We will carry out the first major study of the value of support groups for people living with or caring for someone with a rare form of dementia. 1)WS1 [Retrospective Cohort 麻豆传媒高清版]. Understanding the problems faced and care received through a retrospective cohort study of >1000 current and historical members to create the first mapping of abilities, challenges, care needs, care events, and health and care resource use (including informal/familial care) in the rarer dementias across all stages of dementia.2)WS2 [Theoretical development]. Identifying the 鈥榓ctive ingredients鈥 of support groups through theoretical development. Mixed-methods including (i) literature review using the principles of realist synthesis; (ii) situational analysis and focussed ethnographic work involving a sub-sampling of members; (iii) analysis of WS1 interview dataset; and (iv) iterative construction of general Theory of Change (ToC) and nested sub-theories.3)WS3 [Measures]. Optimising and innovating measure selection and development We will review existing relevant concepts and measures iteratively as WS2 theory develops. We will identify a primary measure of effect (e.g. DEMQOL, Smith et al., 2007) to enable exploratory cost effectiveness. We will develop and test a resilience outcome measure suitable for different forms of dementia.4)WS4 [Prospective longitudinal cohort study]. Evaluating the impact and pathways to impact of multi-component support groups on new members through a prospective longitudinal cohort study. Methods: Mixed methods to evaluate how membership and degree of involvement are associated with outcomes at 6-monthly intervals.5) WS5 [Intervention development]. Theory-driven design and feasibility testing of a new, online multicomponent support intervention for carers of people living with FTD.6)WS6 [Economic analysis]. Investigating cost effectiveness through economic analysis7)PhD studentships 8)Embedded case studies in rural Wales and Canada will explore aspects such as rural living which may support or exacerbate the experience of living with dementia.

    Description

    Funded through the Lifelong Health and Wellbeing Cross-Council Programme, the network aimed to:

    Unite and build upon previous work and existing evidence undertaken on resilience, and strengthen this with new perspectives and collaborations, thereby enhancing research capacity and development. It will develop a research, knowledge transfer and dissemination strategy and subsequent research bids that reflect a multi-disciplinary life course perspective to healthy ageing. This will be conducted using an approach that will increase the potential of knowledge transfer throughout the process. This will generate new knowledge for research, policy and practice on the multi-layered complexities of the ageing process and resilience which cannot be understood from a single disciplinary perspective.
