@impadultcare.bsky.social started in 2021 with just one part-time member of staff. 5 years on there's about 70 of us across all four nations of the UK. Happy birthday IMPACT!

Very warm cycling in - but so, so lucky to work at such a beautiful campus @unibirmingham.bsky.social @impadultcare.bsky.social

Really looking forward to sharing and testing what we're learning around how to implement evidence in adult social care practice with colleagues from the University of Sheffield's Centre for Care/CIRCLE and partners

Especially since our first @impadultcare.bsky.social 'Demonstrator' was with @vivensa.bsky.social and partners in Antrim, focused on strengths-based/community-led approaches to support for older people

Joyful and emotional evening representing @impadultcare.bsky.social at the Social Worker of the Year Awards (we played a very small part in it being outside London for the first time!) More news to follow - but a wonderful night

The deadline is fast approaching for nominations to the 2025 Social Worker of the Year Awards: always a lovely evening and such a special way to recognise / celebrate the difference that social work can make! It's free to nominate - categories + guidance are via www.socialworkawards.com/

Enjoyed it so much, I went back for a 2nd visit! I'd definitely recommend if you have a few minutes to pop in over Easter - or there's a 3D version you can view online from the Ikon website

Great to see @chicagobearsnews.bsky.social and Britain's first female NFL coach, Phoebe Schechter, launch the inaugural Chicago Bears NFL girls flag football league at the University of Birmingham

New research! Building on our ‘Why are we stuck in hospital’ study (www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/social-policy/departments/social-work-social-care/research/why-are-we-stuck-in-hospital), ‘What happens next?’ will explore how people's lives change after long-stay hospital/leading an ordinary life
