Dear Debbie I'd be happy to share mine with you if it would be of interest. It was completed in 2008, so perhaps represents some earlier RE ideas. It is listed on the British Library link, A realistic evaluation of how parents experience the process of formal parenting support<http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?did=1&uin=uk.bl.ethos.730637>, but not accessible online as a pdf as more recent copies would be.

I'm looking at museum programmes for people with dementia, specifically how the inclusion/exclusion of carers impacts outcomes, including a synthesis and evaluation. But as I'm thinking more about overall shape, it's not important if the subject isn't similar. If anyone has links to any they think are particularly good examples that would be great. Many thanks for your help Debbie Debbie Kinsey PhD student University of Exeter Medical School
