It's so good to have this out (and to work on it with the fantastic Obert Tawodzera). Over 2,000 people across the UK took part, many of whom were people drawing on care and support, carers and front-line staff. It made a massive difference to IMPACT's design - thank you!

Exciting news! Our article, co-authored with Jon Glasby , detailing insights from our survey shaping IMPACT's design, is now published in the Care & Caring Jnl ! It's open access, so dive in and discover the foundation of our work! bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/…

Thank you for your generous review sayendri_speaks Care & Caring Jnl!

📣Happy to share my article published in IRISH: evidence of how people with disabilities and older adults experienced disruptions in different types of care in their multiple caring relationships during COVID in ON (CAN). Thx SSHRC

Very insighful piece. 'My sister was sent to a nursing home against her will. We fought and won, but thousands of others aren't so lucky' thestar.com/opinion/contri… via @torontostar Teresa and her family's story is not uncommon.

Interesting - but 'an alternative is to lean into the ‘social’ and make #socialcare more social'

A legacy from #IDEAL : Sally & Dr Claire Pentecost's wonderful #blog with Policy Press about their Care & Caring Jnl paper

What were the longer-term impacts of the #covid19 pandemic for #carers of people with #dementia ? It wasn't as simple as 'it's over'.

Thought provocation from ⁦Prof Catherine Needham⁩ et al about what continuing to “make social care more social” entails - well worth the read! bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/…

Really interesting, tho important I think to note that the term 'long term care' is used exclusively in relation to older people, including in Australia. Words like 'assistance' & 'support' have long been used & advocated in relation to working age disabled people
