Setting Shared Priorities: Adult Social Care Research and Practice in Kent event

Research in social care is very important as it can inform social work practice and improve outcomes for people.  The Kent Research Partnership is one of six capacity building, social care partnerships funded by the NIHR Health Services and Delivery (HS&DR) programme in England. Our four-year programme of work will develop sustainable Kent-based partnerships to support the delivery of high quality social care research on the topics that matter most in our region.
