We had our first knowledge exchange event on Monday, October 22nd, and by all accounts it was a great success!\u00a0 The event focused on two key themes: the experience of doing research as a practitioner and the eight research projects which are underway.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The first set of presentations centered on the research process.\u00a0 The practitioners grounded their perspectives in a variety of images, each of which gives some insight into the opportunities and challenges one faces when undertaking a new piece of research. In addition to the ripple image here, we were shown pictures of an iceberg, a nebula, a mountain climber and the Tardis from Doctor Who!\u00a0 Each of these suggests the depth and complexity of the research process.<\/p>\n We also had a discussion about the role of research in organisations.\u00a0 We were particularly interested in how and why research might be used when planning and delivering health and social care to older people. The key themes from this discussion were (1) improving services for older people (2) using resources better and (3) fostering change and development.<\/p>\n <\/a>After a short break, we joined the practitioners again for a second set of presentations.\u00a0 This time, the focus was on their rationale for doing research.\u00a0\u00a0We learned about the motivation for doing a piece of research, the opportunities which being a practitioner has brought to the research process and their aspirations for creating improvement in the delivery of health and social care for older people.<\/p>\n A summary<\/strong> of the different practitioner research programmes can be downloaded here.<\/a>\u00a0 Further detail on each of the practitioners-researchers<\/strong> can be found on our blog here<\/a>.\u00a0 And more information on our knowledge exchange plans<\/strong> can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We had our first knowledge exchange event on Monday, October 22nd, and by all accounts it was a great success!\u00a0 The event focused on two key themes: the experience of doing research as a practitioner and the eight research projects which are underway.
