Opportunities for adult social care commissioners to connect with academic research in meaningful ways can be limited.
This Community of Practice will provide a space where commissioners can engage with academic research, share knowledge, and develop innovative approaches to evidence-informed commissioning.
A workshop on 9 September 2025, organised by the University of Birmingham, will:
- Help define the purpose and priorities of the Community of Practice
- Identify key challenges in accessing and utilising research evidence in commissioning decisions
- Co-design the structure, activities, and resources that would best support your needs
- Connect commissioners and academic partners in a collaborative environment
- Shape how this community can enhance professional practice and impact
