Project title: Making an impact – implementing and testing a framework for leading evidence-informed change in adult social care
Project summary: The PhD project is for a specific project which the University had specified around leading evidence-informed change in adult social care. This builds on the work of IMPACT (the UK centre for implementing evidence in adult social care), which is developing a new framework or model for thinking about/organising/leading evidence-informed change projects in the reality of adult social care services.
The PhD project will involve using the new framework to carry out a change project or improvement in frontline services, as well as reflecting on/evaluating/helping to test and refine the model itself.
