Supporting Social Care Research And Building Capacity
This week we\u2019re discussing Social Care Research, why it is important, and what is being done to try and ensure there is more of it.\n\nSocial care is a term that generally describes all forms of personal care and other practical assistance for children, young people, adults and older adults who need extra support. However, as you would expect, we\u2019re looking at its connection to dementia and how it supports older adults. We welcome back Senior Research Fellow and regular blogger Dr Clarissa Giebel from University of Liverpool as host, and first time guests Teresa Atkinson from University of Worcester, Dr Michael Clark from the NIHR School for Social Care Research and Tom Redfearn Public Affairs Manager at the Alzheimer\u2019s Society.\n\nThis podcast was recorded on the 25th June, and a few things have changed since then (which we should probably mention), the UK Government has announced its new plan for health and social care, and the All Party Parliamentary Group for Dementia published its report Fuelling the Moonshot which includes recommendations for improving investment in Dementia Care and Social Care Research:\n\nHere are some links that were referenced in the show:\n\nNIHR School for Social Care Research - https://bit.ly/3l68y7W\nWhat is social care and how does it work - https://bit.ly/2XdixAC\nUK Government Our Plan for Health and Social Care - https://bit.ly/3txP5kk\n\nYou can find out more about our guests, and access a full transcript of this podcast on our website at:\n\nhttps://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast \n\nThis podcast also sits on YouTube with English Language Subtitles.\n_________________________\n\nFinally, please review, like, and share our podcast - and don't forget to subscribe to ensure you never miss an episode.\n\nRegister on our website to receive your weekly bulletin, and to access more great content \u2013 blogs, science, career support + much more\n\nhttps://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk \n\nThis podcast is brought to you in association with Alzheimer's Research UK and Alzheimer's Society, who we thank for their ongoing support.\n\n______________\n\nComplete the UCL ISTAART #ECRPIA Survey at \n\nhttps://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/survey
