Cognitive Frailty Network
@CogFrailNetwork
We’re a network funded by @BBSRC/@The_MRC exploring mechanisms of cognitive frailty and the psychological understanding of cognitive ageing
Interesting morning @UKNICAofficial for our @CogFrailNetwork Industry Event. We were sharing understanding of cognitive frailty and some of the outcomes of our network’s activities over the past two years with a view to developing new community and industry collaborations
We are excited to share that our multidisciplinary scoping review on the exogenous factors and biological mechanism of cognitive frailty is available online at Ageing Research reviews! It's free to read online within 24 hours: doi.org/10.1016/j.arr.… @UkAgeing @HealthyAgeingUK
We are excited to announce that our scoping review on the exogenous factors and biological mechanisms for cognitive frailty has been accepted for publication at Ageing Research Reviews! 🎉Currently the article is available in pre-print at: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… @UkAgeing
This scoping review is the latest output from the @CogFrailNetwork, funded by @The_MRC and @BBSRC as part of @UKRI_News @UkAgeing. Final version online soon with preprint available @medrxivpreprint medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Ready for day two of the @CogFrailNetwork conference as we move from research presentations to the sandpit! Today we’ll be developing potential pump-priming projects led by early-career researchers
Then we finished the first day with three-minute pitches about our research aimed at members of the public. Good to hear everyone’s pitches and take home my feedback from the brilliant @CogFrailNetwork panel
We are organising a webinar on 10 April (9:30-11:30 am) exploring number of knowledge mobilisation frameworks for researches to consider when planning outcomes and impact within their studies. It's free for CFIN members, for more information, please visit ukanet.org.uk/cfin/2025/03/2…
The South Asian Ageing Network's (SAAgeNet) 4th Knowledge Exchange Meeting and Research Symposium was @LancasterUni last week. SAAgeNet is supported by @UKRI_News through their global partnership scheme, and brings together universities and researchers from India, Malaysia and UK
This meeting was convened by @CogFrailNetwork and research from all partner universities was presented, including outcomes from supported research visits and pump priming projects. Discussions enabled further collaborative opportunities to be explored, including funding bids
Opportunities to explore health and ageing across countries and cultures, including the sharing of insights and expertise, is incredibly valuable, so thanks to @CogFrailNetwork for coordinating
Great discussions @CogFrailNetwork’s policy event @ExploreWellcome today, exploring awareness of cognitive frailty, interventions for cognitive and physical health, and opportunities for local and national action. @CogFrailNetwork is funded by @UKRI_News (@BBSRC & @The_MRC)
CFIN Webinar on Working Alongside Older People in Research - registration deadline is 5pm on 20th November! The webinar is 1-3 pm on 22nd November 2024, free for CFIN members. For more information and registration, please visit the link blow: ukanet.org.uk/cfin/2024/11/0… @UkAgeing
We are excited to announce our upcoming Webinar exploring how to integrate Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) into your research, and also to involve lay older adults as co-researchers. Find out more information or sign up here: ukanet.org.uk/cfin/2024/11/0…

We are organising an Industry event in partnership with @UKNICAofficial, aiming to facilitate new partnerships, exchange perspectives on cognitive frailty and stimulate new research ideas and solutions. Book your free tickets here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-cognitiv…
Getting started at today’s @UKRI_News @UkAgeing Partner Meeting hosted at @unibirmingham. Here to represent @CogFrailNetwork to showcase the work we’ve been completing over the last few years and opportunities for the future
We were delighted to have Dr Samira Vafa (linkedin.com/in/samira-vafa…) talk about Real-Life Interventions and Older Adults’ Cognitive Functioning at the @C4ARLancs seminar yesterday visiting from @SunwayU


Delighted to present with @CarolHolland286 @valiarodriguez @sayanivdas @CogFrailNetwork our #CognitiveFrailty symposium at British Society of Gerontology meeting 🙋♀️@britgerontology #Newcastle exploring critical aspects of ageing & modifiable risks @BSMSMedSchool @BSMSClinNeuro
The @CogFrailNetwork conference closing with presentations of the initial pump-priming projects in development, gathering useful feedback from the public and other network members so the ideas can be further refined
We finished the 2nd Conference of the @CogFrailNetwork at @LancasterUni with very good presentations and exciting projects ideas.
