How can researchers help to shape the delivery of services, enhance practice, influence policy, inform new product development?
Improving the integration of policy, practice and research
- Assisting in raising the profile of research within organisations at all levels.
- Forging closer working relationships between universities and care providers and building upon existing examples of good practice through the development of a policy and practice forum.
- Enabling researchers to spend time in practice and with policy makers and vice versa to enable a better understanding of each other’s needs.
- Supporting policy and practice development and implementation through evidence-based approaches.
- Improving the quality of care which older people receive in health and social care settings through contributing to evidence-based practice
