PRIME Centre Wales Social Care Consensus Meeting

Monday 5th October 2015, 10:00 - 15:00
Future Inn Cardiff Hotel

The meeting aimed to bring together health and social care researchers, representatives from government, local authorities, commercial sector, third sector, community members and their supporters/carers to identify the research issues, prioritise these and establish how they can be collectively delivered.

Objectives for the day
  • To collaborate across health and social care for future delivery of services
  • To set priorities for social care research within the primary and emergency care context
  • To identify facilitators to enable the priorities to be delivered
  • To agree an action plan for future delivery.
Instructions for attendees

Attendees were asked to bring with them three ideas for hard to solve problems in their organisation, and were asked to discuss with colleagues prior to attending the meeting so their views will be included in discussions.

Attendees were also asked to consider three contributions that their organisation could offer such as training available in their specialist area, support for professional development etc.

The research priorities

Following the consensus exercise, the priorities agreed on have been drafted by the workshop leads, Joyce Kenkre and Carolyn Wallace and are being shared with the group for feedback.

Report

Following feedback from the group, the priorities were further refined, and a report has been drafted by Dr Carolyn Wallace and shared with key stakeholders including the School for Social Care Research 

The report can be downloaded viewed here.
