Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a feasibility study on the effects of an online-based training and education programme for carers of people with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is:

To evaluate the feasibility of an online training course for carers of people with PCA, PPA, and bvFTD. Feasibility measures will focus on the recruitment process and measurement tools.

To determine the acceptability of an online training course for carers of people with PCA, PPA and bvFTD.

The study will involve 6 online modules over the course of 7 weeks. All sessions will take place over the internet, using an online platform. A research team member (facilitator) will be available to assist participants over the course completion.
