Outline
\n<\/strong><\/span>This 2.5 year flagship project will have three components.<\/p>\n

Evidence:<\/strong> <\/span>where we will work on building and understanding the evidence-base around prevention for this group, including bringing key people together to debate and address some of the evidence gaps. In years one and two we produced an evidence summary and a set of prompt cards aiming to make messages from the evidence accessible to practitioners. Examples of preventative interventions and case studies from the literature are being collated as a resource that will be shared during year three. The project has an advisory group that meets each quarter to discuss the project. At each meeting\u00a0the advisory group records a roundtable discussion on\u00a0a relevant topic. Each discussion is broadcast as an IRISS.FM episode.<\/p>\n

Implementation: <\/strong><\/span>where we will\u00a0work in partnership with a group of older people and community members. The work will draw on evidence form the literature as well as the lived experience of the group. The group will explore the natural assets within their community and work together to design and test a new preventative activity or intervention.<\/p>\n

Engagement:<\/span> <\/strong>which will involve sharing the learning from the project and will\u00a0look at prevention in a universal rather than targeted sense. For example, we will engage with the wider community in our implementation site to explore community connections more generally. We will also explore how the prompt cards are bing used and whether there is evidence of impact on outcomes for older people. We will promote use of the cards to stimulate awareness and discussion amongst health and social care practitioners. A key part of the engagement component will be linking into various professional and community groups with a stake in prevention, including the Scottish Third Sector Roundtable on Prevention and the Scottish Parliament Age and Social Isolation Inquiry.<\/p>\n
