Abstract:

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has a long history of significant funding for National Health Service (NHS) research and research infrastructure and has pledged to extend support into social care sectors. However, strategies and tactics that are used to support research in the NHS are not so easily transferred to the social care system, and it is important to develop new models which more specifically respond to the needs of the sector.

This report describes findings of a study funded by the Clinical Research Network (CRN) Wessex to develop a better understanding of the challenges of building capacity to undertake social care research in the Wessex region (Dorset, South Wiltshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight) and the opportunities for building research engagement and capacity. It focuses on the enablers and barriers facing Higher Education Institute (HEI) academic staff in Wessex from the perspective of current academic staff who work in HEIs and who regularly interact with the social care sector.

A partner report, issued simultaneously, focuses on the enablers and barriers facing practitioners in Wessex from the perspective of current practitioners within Wessex and HEI academic staff. This is due to the quantity of data collected and report length considerations.
