Have your say
Moves into and between care provision and settings are significant life events for many older people, which can affect the well-being of both the person and their family carers.
East Sussex County Council, University of Kent, University College London and partners, including many care and support-experienced older people and their carers have worked together on a co-production project to consider how best to support older people through life changes. This is called ‘Better Care Moves for Older People’.
They are offering a webinar to talk about their research, showcase initial findings and engage participants in discussions around how to use their toolkit and perhaps how to get involved in future research projects.
So, if you would you like to be a part of the development of evidence-informed practice and hear about social care practitioners’ involvement in adult social care research, the webinar is on 21 September and runs from 2:00pm to 3:30pm
