IMPACT – Improving Adult Care Together

IMPACT is the UK centre for implementing evidence in adult social care. 

Working across the four nations and with co-production at its heart, we draw on insights from research, lived experience, and practice knowledge to make a difference to front-line services, and to people’s lives.

“Good support isn’t just about ‘services’ – it’s about having a life.“
