Co-producing evidence-based change: enhancing adult social care occupational therapists’ engagement with research, through participation

26 Nov 2025
Theatre 3
Adult social care occupational therapy services are facing significant workforce pressures and challenges to current ways of working from new national policy shifts. Historically, provision for engagement with research has been poor.
This innovative project is in the national spotlight, the first of its kind dedicated to supporting occupational therapists engagement with and creation of research, reinforcing culture change and new career pathways.
We will explore a new approach to improving this, unleashing opportunities for occupational therapists that can improve evidence- based interventions.
  • To better understand the drivers and opportunities for professional practice improvement in Adult Social Care.
  • To reflect on the IMPACT change model and local requirements that might be deployed to improve personal engagement with research
  • To share the demonstrator work with colleagues, catalysing improvements within wider adult social care occupational therapy services.
