The Curiosity Partnership: building the research foundations for evidence-based delivery of social care

“The longer you live the more likely you are to need social care support - and we’re all living longer,” says Professor Yvonne Birks, Associate Director NIHR School for Social Care Research at the University of York.

Watch Yvonne’s YorkTalk and explore how she and the team at the Curiosity Partnership are bringing together social care practitioners, public voices and research expertise for the benefit of the UK’s growing numbers of older people in need of support.

She shows that while opportunities for social care research are increasing, the historic lack of opportunities for engagement with research means practice has been unsupported in developing an understanding of how research can support better services.
