Research-informed care homes workshops - Session 1

As part of the University of Exeter and Care Homes Knowledge Collaboration (ExCHANGE), colleagues at the University along with the Devon Care Homes Collaborative are running a course of workshops with the aim to provide people working in care homes with the knowledge, skills and confidence to understand and engage with research and research evidence.

These workshops are the first stage in developing a package of resources to support care homes, and link in with PenARC's Making Sense of Evidence programme.
