Introduction

The NIHR Policy Research Unit in Adult Social Care (ASCRU) organises a webinar series which aims to showcase ongoing social care research in NIHR Policy Research Units. The webinars are held online, open to all, but focused on informing DHSC policy makers, and so the emphasis is on policy messages rather than detailed discussions about methods.
