The Benevolent Society's Research to Practice Briefings are a resource for community aged care professionals to stimulate discussion and reflection on their practice.

 

The Briefings summarise the research about a specific aspect of community care, with an emphasis on the significance of the research findings for the day-to-day work of care practitioners with older people. The Briefings are concise (8 pages), in straightforward language and are designed especially for case managers, coordinators, team leaders and managers.

The Briefings are produced by The Benevolent Society in collaboration with academic partners, for a national audience. Our aim is to help build a culture of evidence-informed practice in community aged care services and thus contribute to improvements in older people's wellbeing.
