Practitioner Research: Outcomes and Partnership (PROP2)

Published in News on 3 Feb 2015

PROP2 has been developed by IRISS and CRFR at the University of Edinburgh, and builds on learning from the previous Practitioner Research: Older People (PROP) project.

PROP2 aims to develop research capacity and knowledge exchange amongst practitioners and to generate evidence about issues relevant to practice. Working with partners from health and social care, a group of practitioners are being supported to identify a research question, and to plan and implement a full research project. The practitioners will develop research awareness and skills and their organisations will increase their research and knowledge exchange capacity, especially in relation to use of data and evidence.

The project started in August 2014 and we are now at the stage where the researchers have identified their topics, defined their research questions and are at the beginning of their data collection. The website provides much more detail about the partners who are involved and the individual projects that are being undertaken.

Information on the project, including detail about the partners involved and the individual projects practitioner researchers are undertaking, is available on the PROP2 website.
