| Research interests | Tiffeny’s area of expertise is equity and discrimination in dementia care. Her PhD thesis looked at whether people affected by dementia are supported through policy, practice, and research to receive care which is tailored to protected and minority needs such as age, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, and which enables them to achieve the same health outcomes as others. She is mainly a qualitative researcher with experience of innovative and creative methods to engage people affected by dementia. |
