About this Event
We are delighted to announce a series of interactive workshops aimed at operational and strategic leadership in social care in partnership with colleagues at ADASS. Practitioner-led research in social care is a priority for the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), which offers a range of development opportunities to help practitioners build their skills and knowledge. However, as many of us know, social care practitioners apply for these opportunities less frequently than health practitioners.
This series of interactive workshops are aimed at operational and strategic leadership in social care across statutory, voluntary and independent sector providers. It will draw on perspectives from across the sector to explore the organisational benefits of developing a research-minded and capable workforce, provide guidance and information about the funding and support available from the NIHR Academy and the Research Support Service, and explore effective strategies for and barriers to involvement across regions. Building this understanding will help to develop recommendations for the NIHR on how to promote involvement and address barriers.
