The Universities of Bristol, Kent, Liverpool, and Oxford, along with The London School of Economics and Political Science, supported by National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaborations are conducting a research study looking at care planning in care homes and how it can support and improve the wellbeing of their residents.

Adult social care workers – who are mostly women – are among the lowest paid in the UK.

If you are interested in social care and research partnerships, you won’t want to miss this event hosted by NIHR ARC Wessex.

Do you want to know how to create open, fun and accessible content for dissemination? Then this is for you.

Professor Catherine Walshe, Co-Director of the International Observatory on End of Life Care at Lancaster University, explains how delivering research in care homes is becoming increasingly important with an ageing population. She discusses how research can be championed and facilitated in these settings.

Study shows a link between working conditions, care quality and residents’ quality of life. Researchers report that policies to improve working conditions for staff are essential to improve outcomes for people living in care homes.

A networking opportunity for researchers, stakeholders and public and patient representatives from across the Care Home sector.

Join us to celebrate The Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit’s (ASCOT) 10th anniversary! A webinar series that celebrates a decade of outcome measurement in adult social care, bringing together an international network of researchers and experts in long-term care to present their findings and consider future research priorities.
