ABOUT SOFIA VOUGIOUKALOU
I am a social care researcher with a focus on under-represented groups and a background in medical anthropology, user-centred design and evaluation. As British Academy Innovation Fellow I have researched creative ageing and social prescribing. I also work on a wide range of projects on health inequalities in ageing such as dementia care in social care settings and the community, the role of arts in prevention, macular degeneration community care and technology use in the management of long-term conditions. I support scholarship in arts and health as a member the Arts and Health journal editorial team. Also, I am a member of the leadership team of the Wellbeing Research Network of the Wales Institute for Social and Economic Research and Data (WISERD) and a member of the All Wales Deaf Mental Health Group. My research programme has been awarded the 2023 Highly Meritorious Contribution Award by the Ethnic Minority Welsh Women\'s Association (EMWAA), the 2022 Celebrating Excellence in Civic Mission award from Cardiff University, the 2021 Dementia Friendly Wales Diversity Award from Alzheimer\'s Society Cymru and the 2021 Public Involvement award by Health and Care Research Wales.
