Welcome to Creative Research with Gemma. I'm Gemma Willingham-Storr, a Learning Disability Nurse, Dementia Programme Lead, and PhD Researcher with a passion for making research more inclusive. My work focuses on creative research methods and how they can help people with learning disabilities and dementia share their experiences in ways that feel meaningful, accessible, and engaging.

My research is driven by a simple belief: people are experts in their own lives, and everyone should have the opportunity to contribute to research in a way that works for them. Here you'll find information about my PhD, publications, presentations, and wider work in dementia, learning disabilities, and creative approaches to research and practice.
