CareCoach is a £2 million research programme funded by the National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR). The programme is sponsored by the University of Exeter and coordinated by Norwich Clinical Trials Unit at the University of East Anglia.
The CareCoach research programme aims to develop and test the CareCoach package. CareCoach combines online learning modules with one-to-one support from a coach. We will test how useful CareCoach is and how we can improve it to better support family and friends of people with dementia.
