Planning Ahead tool
The ‘Planning Ahead’ tool was started by members of the public, then given to a team of doctors and nurses to add medical information. It’s currently being piloted and the authors are looking for feedback to improve the tool and the website.

Help IMPACT to make an impact on the way adult social care is delivered 
IMPACT (‘IMProving Adult Care Together’) is the new UK centre for implementing evidence in adult social care. They’re currently testing a number of different delivery models via pilot projects across different parts of the UK – but all their work is based on learning by doing, on providing practical support in the realities of local services and on using evidence to make a difference to the way people work and to people’s lives. Perhaps unlike other sectors, their definition of ‘evidence’ includes different types of research, the lived experience of people drawing on care and support and their carers, and the practice knowledge of social care staff.
They’ve been talking to different people who draw on care and support and who work in adult social care across the UK about how best to use the funding they’ve received to make as much of a difference as possible. As part of this, they’d like to connect with nurses working in adult social care.
If you’d like to find out more about their work and how to get involved, you can sign up for regular updates via their website.
