At the recent Health Services Research UK annual Conference, the “Stuck in Hospital” project was awarded an “Innovation in Inclusion” prize for the involvement of people with learning disabilities and autistic people in long-stay hospitals. More information on the project is available here.
This project was led by Prof Robin Miller (Social Care theme lead) and Prof Jon Glasby, who were delighted that all the work of the research team and the support received was recognised, and that they were able to demonstrate that people within such settings can participate in research. The HSRUK conference also provided an opportunity to further share the research insights from this project and to allow debate on the opportunities to improve practice and policy.
