Deborah Oliveira

I am a Registered Nurse with a PhD by the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom. I currently work as Lecturer and Researcher at the Faculty of Nursing, Universidad Andrés Bello, Chile. I am interested in research about the psychosocial experiences of people living with dementia and of their carers, particularly stigma and discrimination, and long-term care and care policy for older people. 

Previously, I have worked as Researcher in Brazil (UNIFESP) and in the United Kingdom (University of Nottingham), and as Consultant for both the Social Protection and Health Division of the Inter-American Development Bank (Washington D.C.) and for World Health Organization (WHO), in areas related to long-term care for older people and dementia. I have over 90 publications including  peer-reviewed papers in academic journals, policy documents, and book chapters, and I have co-edited two books. 
 
I have co-led the drafting of WHO’s “Framework for countries to achieve an integrated continuum of long-term care” (2021); have been involved in drafting WHO’s “Global status report on the public health response to dementia” (2021); and contributed as an expert adviser to WHO’s “Be healthy, be mobile: a handbook on how to implement mDementia” (2021). Within the Interamerican Development Bank, I co-authored the regional report “Aging in Latin America and the Caribbean: social protection and quality of life of older persons” (2022) and the first analysis of human resource supply and demand for long-term care for older persons in Latin America and the Caribbean (2022). I am / have been Associate Editor for the journals: Dementia, Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, and Dementia & Neuropsychologia.
