What do you hope to achieve during your postgraduate study at Birmingham?
During my postgraduate study at Birmingham, I hope to make meaningful contributions to the field of dementia research, particularly in the area of suicide risk. My goal is to deepen our understanding of the complex factors that contribute to mental health challenges in individuals with dementia and to identify strategies that can help mitigate these risks. By the end of my PhD, I aim to have produced research that not only advances academic knowledge but also has practical implications for improving care and support for vulnerable populations.
In addition to my research, I hope to develop as a well-rounded academic by enhancing my skills in critical thinking, data analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I also look forward to engaging with the wider academic community at Birmingham, contributing to seminars, conferences, and discussions that will further shape my research and professional development.
Ultimately, my hope is that my work during this time will serve as a foundation for future research and will have a positive impact on dementia care and mental health interventions.
