About Us

Our Vision

The Kingshill Research Centre aspires to improve ‘quality of life’ for patients and carers by producing high quality research information for use in the development of new treatment alternatives.

Kingshill Research Centre is a service area within the Department of Old Age Psychiatry (DOAP) and part of the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust. The service also encompasses The Kingshill Research Fund (Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Charitable Fund, registered charity number 1056576). It is based at the Victoria Hospital in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK.

We specialise in research into dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), investigating:

• drug treatments
  
  
• ways of identifying dementia and MCI
  
  
• how to assess dementia and MCI
  
  
• best practice in dementia care
  
  
• the benefits of supporting carers

The content of our web site has been developed as a resource to provide people with dementia and those who care for them with access to the information they need to understand and cope with dementia, also providing signposting to other web sites, organisations and books. It is not intended to serve as a replacement for professional medical advice.

The site also gives an overview of our research and the services and facilities we are able to provide.
