| Annotation | This paper illustrates how joint practitioner research can influence practice and stimulate meaningful partnership working from the bottom up within a social care setting. The impact of this integrated approach to practice and learning can enable improved outcomes for people. The project involved a social worker from Midlothian Community Care Team and one Carer Support Worker from VOCAL Midlothian Carers Centre. The research aimed to explore how approaches to working with carers affected personal outcomes for them. The authors outline the research and explore the reflective process underlying the project including the subsequent phase of implementation. The authors discuss what they understood from the practice, heard from carers and fellow workers, and learned from each other. The authors consider the project in the wider context of evidence-based practice. Key enablers and challenges are identified to the production of joint practitioner research and more broadly to outcomes for carers. The authors also examine the reflective process of joint working between individuals and the impact this can have on facilitating integrated working, at both a practice and service level. (JL). |
