INTERNATIONALLY COMPETITIVE AND IMPACTFUL RESEARCH. The UWS Corporate Strategy sets out the three research themes: health, society and sustainability. These cross- disciplinary themes provide the context and drivers for research at UWS; addressing 21st century challenges and driving social good. UWS was recognised in the UK’s 100 best breakthroughs for its Dementia Champions programme. Universities UK’s campaign – #MadeAtUni – aims to bring to life the impact of universities on people, lives and communities. Scotland’s National Dementia Champions Programme teaches qualified staff to become “change agents” in dementia care. The Dementia Champions were developed initially in partnership as a local co-produced initiative in Dumfries and then commissioned as a national programme by NHS NES. There are now over 800 Dementia Champions working to improve dementia care across Scotland. The Champions programme is one area of work by the Alzheimer Centre Scotland for Policy and Practice (ASCPP) – a collaborative partnership between UWS and Alzheimer Scotland. The main base for the Centre is at the new Lanarkshire Campus with an additional presence at the Dumfries Campus. UWS has a KPI to increase the number of Postgraduate Research students by 10% each year. In 2017/18, UWS had 358 Research Postgraduate students (National Measure 10).
