  • Use the Alzheimer’s Society website to find help find potential Research Champion Organisations within a certain area, including those outside of Alzheimer’s Society.
  • Directly approach the managers of potential Research Champion Organisations to get quick results. Offer to meet them and discuss current studies that they can promote.
  • When approaching pharmacies to help promote Join Dementia Research, contacting pharmacy superintendents has shown faster results. Make things as easy as possible for them to enhance the chances of their assistance with promoting Join Dementia Research.
