Care Homes Research Blog
British Society of Gerontology (BSG) Special Interest Group (SIG)
This blog is a space for members to share, discuss, and learn from what's going on in care homes research
About the blog and its aims
We would like the blog to highlight and discuss issues within care homes that are research relevant. We particularly welcome bloggers with any first-hand experience in care home settings.
Bloggers may be those who conduct research in care homes but may also include ‘frontline’ care staff, as well as managerial staff, residents, or family members who would like to write about their experiences of research, or an issue that requires more research attention.
Perhaps you have been a research participant or have a desire to be included in future research.
Whatever your interests and perspectives, please think about writing a blog.
The following are some suggestions for topics, but we are open to many others:
About the BSG and Care Homes Research SIG
The British Society of Gerontology (BSG), established in 1971, is the professional organisation representing gerontologists in Britain. It provides a multidisciplinary forum for researchers and other individuals interested in the situations of older people, and in how knowledge about ageing and later life can be enhanced and improved.
The BSG Care Homes Research Special Interest Group (SIG) aims to strengthen research, policy, and practice in all areas of care homes research, including those related to staff, residents, family members and carers, as well as the home environment, and its links with external organisations. We also aim to develop complementary working relationships with the other BSG SIGs, as well as other groups and organisations that support care homes research.
