Come and hear from leading social care researchers about topics that matter to you

| Social Care Wales

We're running two research roadshows so you can find out more about the research topics that matter to you.

We’ve teamed up with Health and Care Research Wales to hold the events in Llandudno on 23 May and Cardiff on 13 June.

Working together with the James Lind Alliance, we recently asked practitioners and people who use care and support what their most important issues and questions were.

We carried out this work to find the top 10 research priorities in care and support for older people and children and families.

But we found that people were asking questions about topics for which research already exists.

We want to bring more of that research to your attention.

The roadshows will feature presentations by researchers from across Wales. You'll then have the chance to talk about the topics in more detail with the researchers themselves and other practitioners.

The first of these events will be held at Venue Cymru in Llandudno and will look at children and family support.

The second will be hosted at City Hall in Cardiff and will focus on care and support for older people.
