We’re updating our website

We are currently updating the ARC KSS website to reflect our new funding and the changes it brings to our programme of work.  These changes will take place over the course of the next few months.

Please bear with us while we work behind the scenes to make these improvements. We thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, if you need help finding anything, please contact spft.arcksscommunications@nhs.net

Prioritisation

The first element of our programme of work was to work with the adult social care and social work (ASCSW) sector to select priority topics for implementation support. We approached a selection in two phases which lead to the identification of a number of important areas of research to be taken forward. Please see our report on prioritisation.
