Public lecture DEMENTIA RESEARCH by Dr Simon Evans Tuesday 17 October 2017 arrivals from 4.00pm, for a 4.15pm start, and a 5.30pm close Taking place in the Events Suite at Herefordshire & Ludlow College, Hereford campus Folly Lane, Hereford, HR1 1LS It is estimated that 850,00 people in the UK have dementia, a figure that is predicted to rise to two million by 2051. In the absence of effective cures or treatments, supporting increasing numbers of people to live well with the condition is widely recognised as key to addressing the many significant challenges that dementia can bring. For example, dementia can have a significant impact on relationships and friendships, partly due to the stigma that is associated with the disease. In this seminar Dr Evans will describe some common symptoms of dementia and what they mean for people living with dementia and those who care for them. He will also present a range of recent and current research projects from the University of Worcester and beyond, and explore how they add to the evidence base for ‘living well with dementia’. RSVP by Tuesday 10 October email: [email protected] tel: 01432 365 431 DR SIMON EVANS Principal Research Fellow, and Head of Research Association for Dementia Studies University of Worcester Simon has developed a portfolio of dementia research projects that spans a wide range of topics including housing, health, social care, the arts, assistive technology, care homes, and communities. HIs role includes applying for research funding, managing a team of researchers, and ensuring that research findings are disseminated to key audiences. Simon was awarded a BSc in Psychology in 1980 and worked in the NHS as an administrator and then a researcher, moving to academia in 2001. After a brief spell at the University of Bath he moved to the University of the West of England in 2003 (where he achieved a PhD in 2010), and joined the Association for Dementia Studies in 2011.

Best practice for providing social care and support to people living with concurrent sight loss and dementia: professional perspectives. Working with Older People 20(2): 86-93 Public lecture HELPING A LEOPARD TO CHANGE ITS SPOTS: HOW TO REHABILITATE OFFENDERS by Professor Erica Bowen Tuesday 21 November 2017 4.15pm, for a 4.30pm start, and a 6.00pm close Taking place in the Events Suite at Herefordshire & Ludlow College, Hereford campus Folly Lane, Hereford, HR1 1LS The issue of whether offenders can be successfully rehabilitated as part of criminal justice sentencing policy is controversial. The tension between punishment and rehabilitation as aims and outcomes of penal policy are ongoing, and the balance between these two aspects shifts depending on the political climate. This public lecture will provide an overview of how penal policy concerning the rehabilitation of offenders has fluctuated over time, the factors that have influenced it, and how scientific evidence has, or has not, contributed to this debate. We will take a closer look at current perspectives on working with offenders to prevent future reoffending, and what is known about the effectiveness of these approaches. The event is free of charge, and open to the public. RSVP by Tuesday 14 November email: [email protected] or tel: 01432 365 431 CONSIDERING HIGHER EDUCATION? The Hereford University Centre not only offers free lectures, research seminars and other educational events to the public in varied and dynamic subjects, it is also a good first point of call for anyone with questions and queries about higher education such as: What course or subject area should I consider? How do I write a UCAS application and statement? What are tariff points? How do I prepare for an interview? Where can I study my chosen subject? How can I study higher education? What is student life like? What is available for a mature student? The Hereford University Centre will provide information, advice and guidance, giving you a clear idea of the options available, or at least where to find the information.
