Identify and recommend evidence gaps, including influencing for their fulfilment, spotting opportunities to generate and commission new evidence, and working in collaboration with external suppliers, and think tanks of academics. Make our strategic evidence base everyone's business - to our people and key players in the dementia system.

Alzheimer's Society was named on the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023 We have achieved excellent scores for workplace happiness, pride, and job satisfaction. This is a wonderful achievement and we're incredibly proud, as this is a fantastic testament to all the people who make up Alzheimer's Society.
