Please do help us to hear the voice of men working in care - either currently or previously- in this important research project. It will help to understand how we help to inspire more men to join our amazing care work - and what is stopping them.

@ncfliz.bsky.social is keynote speaker at today's Kent Research Partnership Celebration Event where she'll be discussing the importance of research in the social care sector and how researchers can best approach engagement with care providers

Delighted to be at the Kent Research Partnership celebration event today, talking about the importance of good quality Research in social care! @ncfcareforum.bsky.social

Looking forward to co-chairing this session soon!! #UKHSA2025

@ncfcareforum.bsky.social and our lovely members, MHA, are on our way to the #ProvidersUnite Day of Action. The unfunded employer NI rises will do real damage to care providers, their staff & the people they support. The govt must do more mitigate this.

One to share across our @ncfcareforum.bsky.social folks - and our team.

Fascinating start to the @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social Hospital to Home event. Sarah Reed shares key lessons from comparable countries:put your money where your policy aim is, long term plans need true long term commitment & failure to reform social care will undermine all other efforts.#hospitaltohome

Annually, the social care sector contributes £68.1 billion to the economy, and is vital part of Britain’s healthcare infrastructure – without it, there will be more strain on NHS services. To #savesocialcare from the 2025 budget impacts we need £2 billion more in funding #ProvidersUnite
