Learning What Works: Doing Research in Care Homes and Home Care (LiLaC)

Over the past eighteen months, the LiLaC project has supported four care homes in the East Midlands to learn about research and integrate research into everyday practice. We have built collaborative partnerships and used creative approaches to find what works . This event provides an opportunity to hear about the journey, discuss lessons learned, and explore how research can be carried out in ways that truly make a difference.

It will be a celebration of the creativity and connection we have established throughout this project!

The session will be chaired by the LiLaC team, and Professor Adam Gordon MBE.

The event will focus on sharing insights, experiences, successes, and challenges of embedding research into care homes and home care settings across the East Midlands.

What to expect:

• Engaging and creative presentations, videos, displays, and visuals
• Real examples of care-led and care-informed research from academic researchers, care home managers, and staff
• Opportunities to share experiences, successes, challenges, and concerns about conducting research in the care sector
• Discussion to help shape future research priorities
• Networking with researchers doing social care research and research engaged care providers from across the region
• Lunch!

Who should attend?

This event is designed for care providers, managers, staff, and anyone interested in improving care through research.
