• BU-IIA Funded Project: CARiAD Intervention

  The aim of the activities outlined in this proposal is to accelerate the impact of the intervention as studied in the NIHR- funded CARIAD feasibility trial and subsequently implemented in clinical practice. The acceleration of the impact of carer-administration supported by this funding will be strengthened by the established external partnerships with BCUHB, Helix Centre (Imperial College London) and the national (UK) Community of Practice (CoP) (co-facilitated by MP). It will support the building of new collaborations and partnerships, including with patients and carers, policy makers, health care organisations and academic institutions. Activities will focus on IT support for the already established CoP (national network of HCPs), creating a social media presence for the intervention and working towards a national database/registry of important outcomes.

  Funding awarded through the Bangor University Innovation and Impact Award (Research Wales Innovation Funding). Value = £50,000
