There are many different types of research which may be available for your particular Care Home. Participating in research can range from distributing leaflets about research to residents to helping conduct studies. The aim of supporting research is to help improve the quality of life for residents and other people living with dementia or other illnesses in Care Homes.
Most of the benefits of taking part in research will relate to each specific study in which you decide to take part in.
- Research may lead to better links with community services and other local Care Home networks
- New developments in providing care may reach your Care Home that are useful to everyday practice
- Research may assist in promoting your Care Home and lets residents and their families know your Care Home is actively involved in providing evidence-based practice.
- Research may contribute towards staff continuous professional development and Nurse’s re-validation.
