NIHR ENRICH brings together care home staff, residents and their families with researchers. It provides a toolkit of resources to help care homes make the most of research; and researchers to set up and run studies effectively and collaboratively in care homes.
The CRN is dedicated to supporting research across all sectors and settings. Our aim is for care home and hospice research to be successfully delivered across the UK be it via the ENRICH research ready scheme, partner organisations care home networks or the standard CRN infrastructure offering.
If you are supporting engagement with local authority care homes or researchers interested in delivering research in care homes you should consider linking in with your local ENRICH Lead.
The ENRICH Leads are there to support early contact and engagement conversations with researchers. They can offer advice on how to get a study onto the CRN portfolio, help develop recruitment strategies and provide practical support for the delivery of a study in a care home.
Please contact your local ENRICH Lead to learn more about CRN supported care home research.
