The Child Speech Disorder Research Network aims to:

• Raise and maintain the profile of child speech disorder within the SLT profession and promote implementation of evidence based practice
• Drive the research agenda through building links between research, practice and service users and identifying opportunities for research both within and beyond the network
• Provide expert research and clinical knowledge in the field of child speech disorder

Members of the network are all SLTs with a track record in research, clinical work and/or teaching in the field of child speech disorder. They are drawn from a variety of HEIs and clinical settings in the UK and Ireland and work with different specialist clinical populations. The group also has representation from RCSLT. The network has a maximum of 15 individuals at any one time.

On the CSDRN pages, you will find useful information on current and completed research, guidelines relating to management and research priorities in child speech disorder.

Insight and social cognition across the spectrum of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

We are looking for people to volunteer their time to participate in a project exploring how different brain conditions affect personality and behaviour.

We know that changes to personality and behaviour are common in different conditions affecting the nervous system. Studying these changes can help us understand more about diseases of the nervous system.

The study involves having pen and paper tests and filling in questionnaires. We will also ask if you can have an MRI brain scan. If you can't have an MRI scan (because of metal in your body or because you don't want to for any reason) then you may still be able to take part in the study, and do the tests only.

The tests are done at Southmead Hospital and CRIC Bristol on St Michael's Hill. We can help with travel expenses if needed.

We are looking for volunteers aged 50 or older who:

• Have a diagnosis of any type of frontotemporal dementia,
• Have a diagnosis of ALS (also called Motor Neurone Disease),
• Have a diagnosis of dementia with behavioural change, OR
• Have no memory problems.

Targeting dopamine to treat impaired memory consolidation in neurodegenerative disease

Our current study examines the role of a brain chemical called dopamine in storing memories overnight. Dopamine is commonly known as the 'reward chemical', but it also affects memory formation and storage, although the exact roles it plays are still being researched. We aim to see how dopamine during sleep affects the storage of different types of memory, and to see whether dopamine could be used to help treat memory problems.

Who can take part?

We are looking for volunteers who:

• are fluent in English;
• are aged 65+;
• do not have a diagnosis of memory impairment or dementia

What will happen if I take part?

If you are willing to take part you will be invited to four visits at the Clinical Research and Imaging Centre (CRIC Bristol) on St Michael’s Hill in Bristol. The first visit is a screening visit during which we ask you about your health to make sure it is safe for you to take part. You will also have a chance to get to know the research facility during this visit. The three other visits are overnight visits during which you will learn memory tasks. Before going to sleep, you will take a single dose of a medication or a placebo, and then your brainwaves will be recorded during sleep using sensors placed on your scalp. On one of the visits we will take a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of your brain. We also ask you to keep a sleep diary for a week before each overnight visit (3 weeks in total).

All our volunteers are given single doses of placebo and two types of medication, which both increase dopamine activity in the brain. We have a lot of experience in prescribing these medications; they are widely used and known to be well-tolerated.
We do not pay our volunteers, but we do cover all expenses. Does this sound like something you would like to do? If so, please get in touch with Hanna Isotalus or Dr Coulthard to find out more.
