Embedded researchers

Social Care Wales is excited to be hosting a series of webinars to highlight six social care research-practice partnerships. The projects have been funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) through the Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme. The webinars will run between July and December 2025 and explore how the projects are building research capacity in adult social care. They are open to everyone but are targeted at senior leaders and managers working in social care settings across the four nations.

This webinar will highlight how the embedded research model was employed in some of the partnerships. And how it supported evidence-informed practice and fostered collaborative approaches. The presenters will share insights from case studies and practical recommendations for using this model to increase research capacity and change culture.

This webinar is being run by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) if you have any questions, please contact them.
