Bethany Linder
BSc MSc MA
Research Assistant
I'm a research assistant working within the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Sciences. My research interests include using technology to support people affected by dementia and older people.
I completed my PhD in Health Sciences at Warwick Medical School in 2025. The focus of my thesis was using videoconferencing software to facilitate dementia peer support group meetings. During my time at Warwick Medical School I also helped to establish the Memory Lane Cafe project which connected medical school students with people affected by dementia. You can find a video summary of the project below.
