Caitlin Adams, Aston University

Strengths I bring: Compassion, inclusion, reflective practice

What I would like the network to achieve: I’d like to learn how co-production is being considered within research and provide any assistance appropriate.

I am a psychology researcher with a clinical background in autism, learning disability, complex care, and mental health. I am currently completing a PhD focused on improving dementia diagnosis through cognitive assessment, which integrates clinical practice and research to improve accessibility and quality of psychological services across the lifespan.
