Closing date 26th January 2015, to start April 2015.
Primary Supervisor/Contact: Dr Lee Hooper, UEA

This project will explore the use and the benefits of finger foods for people with dementia, and also examine why they often are not used in care homes. The student will work in care homes that do or do not use finger foods, including administering questionnaires to care home managers and caterers on about their use of and feelings about finger foods and observing differences in food eaten, eating needs, engagement with eating and levels of nutrition to establish whether finger food really does help residents. Finally, the student will work with two care homes to begin providing finger foods.
