As part of this initiative, in February 2021 the University’s Library and Learning Centre together with Open Research Champions from the Schools of Health Sciences and Dentistry, formed an Open Research Working group. To build on the University’s open research policy and infrastructure, the purpose of the group was to facilitate ongoing research and development of best practice approaches for our interdisciplinary environment to make outputs, data and other products of our research publicly available, building on University of Dundee’s Open Research policy and infrastructure. Through informal consultations with academic staff and students, the Open Research Working Group found that: → access and reach of research findings can be amplified through effective knowledge mobilisation, and stakeholder and patient and public involvement; and → there was a need for guidance and resources on how-to impl...

One challenge to ageing in place concerns the integration of place-based supports available as older people transition into affordable housing. Sustainable solutions need to be developed and implemented with the full involvement of communities, service organisations, and older people themselves. Partnership building is an important component of this process. This chapter details the intricacies of developing partnerships with low-income older people, local service providers, and non-profit housing associations in the context of a Canadian housing development. The findings confirm that the drive towards community partnerships is a necessary process in supporting seniors to live independently and age well within their homes and communities.

Alongside this, the loss of the home as a place of safety and security can create psychological distress. Housing that is not only affordable but also supportive of the psychosocial needs of seniors is essential to the well-being of our ageing population, and this is particularly important in current times when Metro Vancouver is experiencing a significant increase in its older adult population during a period of rapidly rising market rents. This situation threatens housing adequacy for older citizens and places them at risk of isolation as well as social and societal disconnection and retrenchment from community life. Local and regional policy has advocated for affordable housing as a potential solution to provide stable, secure housing for t...

A Cultural Safety approach was undertaken to interpret the meaning of EoL care in eleven in-depth, semi-structured interviews. End-of-life discussions can be an arduous, painful and uncomfortable process particularly for migrants living on the margins of society in unfamiliar cultural setting. For some Chinese people living in the UK, end-of-life care requires attention to acculturation, in particular, Western versus Eastern beliefs on religion, spirituality, burial practices and provision of care and the availability of culturally-specific care. The analysis revealed variations between/within Eastern and Western culture resulted in pronounced differences in the meaning of EoL care.

It is essential to enable early intervention and preventative work, for safeguarding and promoting welfare and for wider public protection. Information sharing is a vital element in improving outcomes for all.” (Northamptonshire County Council, 2013b:35). A pilot in Corby was implemented to integrate case management meetings within a day. The case management meetings that were aligned included: the Early Help Forum (EHF), the Anti-Social Behaviour Forum (ASBF), Domestic Abuse Forum (DAF) and the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC).
