The Academic Health Science Network for the North East and North Cumbria, North of England Commissioning Support Unit and Newcastle University are sponsoring a series of events focused on sharing and developing good practice, research and evidence within the care home sector.  These events will consider:

• learning outcomes from current research projects;
• academic research across the UK and opportunities for developing future research; and
• evaluation of best practice implementation for those working in and across the sector.

In the morning, Newcastle University will showcase its growing programme of care home related research in the Institute of Health and Society / Institute of Ageing. Bringing together researchers, healthcare professionals, commissioners, and care home managers and staff in a collaborative context, this event will promote shared learning and the development of an informed research agenda.
