The Department of Dementia Research and Nursing Science represents a pioneering fusion of disciplines that equally emphasizes and integrates the unique focuses of nursing science and dementia research. In the integration of both fields, we recognize significant potential as it allows us to develop holistic approaches. Through interdisciplinary teaching, research, and close collaboration with healthcare practitioners, we strive to have a sustainably positive impact on healthcare. The Department of Dementia Research and Nursing Science is thus not only a place for research and education but also a driving force for innovative, practical solutions aimed at sustainably improving the care and support of people in general, and particularly those with dementia.
