Improving Adult Care Together

We are pleased to bring you a two-part episode, hosted by IMPACT Director, Jon Glasby, focusing on the work being done in IMPACT (IMProving Adult Care Together), the new UK centre for implementing evidence in adult social care. Funded, by the ESRC and the Health Foundation, with £15m over nearly 7 years, IMPACT seeks to help evidence of what works get used in practice to make a difference to services, and hence to people’s lives. 

"We believe that good care isn’t about services, but about having a life – and that evidence can play a key part in achieving this vision."

The University of Sheffield is a partner in IMPACT. IMPACT draws on knowledge gained from different types of research, the lived experience of people using services and carers, and the practice knowledge of social care staff.
