Content
• Outline of EMRAN project plan
• Other talks will elaborate
• Workshops will seek your engagement
What’s the issue?
• The best research into the care of older people • High quality yet complex: different perspectives &
skills• Findings into practice at scale and pace• Involvement of commissioners, providers,
practitioners, patients and the public• Islands of expertise across the universities and R&D
departments• Networks help conduct research and implement the
findings
The vision
• An East Midlands wide network of people with an interest in research into the care of older people: researchers; commissioners; providers and practitioners from all sectors; patients and the public

What can EMAHSN do for ageing research?
Professor Rachel Munton, Managing Director
EMRAN launch Weds 25th February 2015
What can EMAHSN do for ageing research?
Our respective work programmes and areas of expertise within EMRAN & EMAHSNHow can we best work together to optimise research opportunities, approaches and impacts?How can EMAHSN help in putting research outcomes onto practice?
About AHSNs
The 15 regional Academic Health Science Networks connect academics, NHS, researchers and industry to accelerate innovation and facilitate the adoption spread of proven ideas and technologies across large populations. We are catalysts and facilitators of change across whole health and social care economies, with a clear focus on improving outcomes for patients. We open doors and create a more conducive environment for relevant industries to work more effectively with the NHS and other parts of the UK healthcare sector.
About AHSNs cont’d
The diversity of AHSN priorities reflects the many challenges of improving health and wealth in each region. However all 15 share a focus on:
Promoting economic growth [e.g. SBRI programme] Diffusing innovation and putting proven research into practiceImproving patient safetyImproving quality and reducing variationOptimising medicine use
Four key objectives of EMAHSN
Build a culture of partnership,
collaboration, inclusivity in
addressing local and national
priorities
Create wealth through co-
development, testing, evaluation
and adoption of new products and
services
Speed up adoption of
innovation to improve clinical outcomes and
patient experience
Focus on needs of patients and
local populations, promoting
health equality

whole healthcare systems, linking back with the research and development community.”
Research and Innovation Landscape
Specific AHSN research related activity – from NHS England
licence measurements
Measurement 5: summary of research evidence that has successfully been implemented and translated into practice, and provide evidence of working with NIHR CLAHRCSMeasurement 12:work with their Clinical Research Networks and demonstrate how they have supported delivery of their metrics
Specific AHSN research related activity – from NHS England
licence measurements
Measurement 13: demonstrate how the AHSN has supported the delivery of NIHRS objectives. AHSNs may seek to engage in additional research activities beyond those agreed within NIHR objectives –in this case the AHSN must demonstrate how the research aligns with the AHSNs clinical or service priorities, expenditure, clinical and ROI activities
Measurement 14: reflect the breadth and depth of the AHSNs academic partnerships ensuring that academic collaboration is not fixed around a single institution
Our purpose
.....is to “ignite innovation” bybringing together the NHS, universities, industry and social care to transform the health of our 4.5 million East Midlands residents to improve health and wealth
outcomes
Our values
We place the quality and safety of patient care above all other aims
We work collaboratively to facilitate vibrant relations across sectors acting as an “honest broker”
We agree our key priority areas with stakeholders
We demonstrate our reputation for delivery, impact and responsiveness

Vulnerable Adults’ Providers Network
Holly NeillNottingham CVS
• Vulnerable Adults’ Providers Network (VAPN)
• Looking After Each Other programme
• A network for voluntary and community sector organisations that work with vulnerable adults
• To help network members to better support the vulnerable adults they work with and improve their services
• Connect groups to each other and to commissioners
What is the VAPN?
• Identify training and development needs• Ensure members are connected to local
commissioning opportunities, consultations and events
• Encourage joint working and consortia for tenders
• Helping to make groups ready to tender for contracts
• Letting groups know about funding• Information sharing
What is the VAPN?
• The VAPN is connected to other networks and forums in the city and this provides another opportunity to share information and keep everyone updated
• Information from these other networks can then be distributed amongst members
Connections
• Age Friendly Nottingham• Children and Vulnerable Adult Workforce
Strategy Group• SPLAT – Learning Disability and Autism
Partnership Board• Dual Diagnosis Forum• HWB3• Mental Heath and Employment Network• Voluntary Homelessness Forum
Connections
• Meetings are held every 2 months and will usually focus on a different theme.
• Network members can attend all the meetings or choose ones they want to attend
• Meetings will be about sharing information, connecting to other voluntary sector colleagues and groups, and the commissioning process
Meetings
• Meetings will be about sharing information, connecting to other voluntary sector colleagues and groups, and the commissioning process
• In between meetings e-newsletters are sent out with updates on commissioning and funding opportunities, training, events, consultations, new services etc
Information sharing
•Enabling and equipping citizens and communities
to do more to support themselves and each
other
What is LAEO all about?
• LAEO came about in response to the Vulnerable Adults Plan 2012 –
2015.
• The 2nd strand is to • ‘Focus on building community
capacity, personalisation and citizen choice’
What is LAEO all about?
Focus • Current phase - Vulnerable Adults –people
with disabilities, people with poor mental health, older people
• Planned next phase – Vulnerable Families and Children
Outcomes• Increase of social action and engaged
communities• Reduced loneliness and social isolation • Fewer Children in Care System
Focus and outcomes
• Jointly led by the Nottingham City Council, NHS Nottingham City Clinical Commissioning Group and Nottingham CVS
• LAEO programme launched late March 2014 – attended by 200 people representing:
• Partners • Providers• Citizens • Voluntary Groups • Business
• 160 individual LAEO pledges• But this is only the tip of the iceberg – everyone
needs to be involved to ensure LAEO is a success
Who’s involved?
• 1000+ ideas generated at launch - and existing LAEO type support across the city mapped
• Supported by funding from HWBB, NCC have used these ideas (and information on gaps) to shape a set of six initial pilot projects
• As a basket of ideas should help people and communities to overcome problems before they become serious, and to reduce isolation
• Communications and engagement strategy in place to support these and LAEO as a whole
What’s happening?
•‘Get to know your neighbour’ - postcard campaign to encourage people to get to know their neighbours better and ‘make time for tea’.•Befriending schemes – befriending adults with learning or physical disabilities, or mental health issues•Timebank – way of sharing skills in the local community•Community Navigators - local volunteers who will help vulnerable people find their way to local activities or services •Better connecting need to support - helping frontline staff identify and support isolated people as early as possible•Rallyround - a simple website service that enables chores for vulnerable people to be shared by families, friends, volunteers and professionals
Six Pilot Projects
• So far 3 consultations have been held at NCVS to get the voluntary sector involved in shaping projects• Sign up to the NCVS e-bulletin as all information goes out through this – click here to register•Future consultations and events relating to LAEO will be promoted, and potentially held, at NCVS•Community Navigator grant application is currently open – click here for more info

Why do we need an EM research into ageing network?
Simon ConroyGeriatrician & Honorary Senior Lecturer
Outline
• Why ageing research at all?
• Existing support for research & delivery
• UK Clinical Research Network
• Ageing speciality group
• Possible roles for EMRAN
Why do we need research into older people?
• To improve patient care
• To test interventions– Valid findings– Intervention effect & health economics– Generalisability
• Old & frail vs. old & fit
Why do we need research into older people?
• Historically older people have been excluded from clinical trials (PREDICT study)– Ageism – societal & clinicians/researchers– Practical features to support participation– Study design – excluding people who can’t give
consent Leading to treatments that are not tested in the
populations for whom they are given (OR not given)

• Many people fall through the gaps between services
• Services often delivered by non-statutory organisations (i.e. voluntary groups and charities)
SOPRANO Background
@CLAHRC_EM @nchadborn 64www.emfop.org.uk
To understand the contribution of non-statutory support for older people’s resilience and wellbeing and to explore how services may be “integrated around the individual”.
• Explore relationships, processes, and values shared between commissioning bodies and third sector
• Investigate barriers and facilitators to more co-ordinated services

Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing (MICRA)
DEVELOPMENT OF MICRA
• MICRA established as a network in 2010
• Designated as a research institute in 2013
• Core funding from Medical Health Sciences & Humanities
MICRA: Strategic Objectives
• To establish the University as a major interdisciplinary centre for research into ageing
• To develop a global presence in working with national and international partners in seeking solutions to the challenges associated with population ageing
• To advance knowledge about ageing through the pursuit of high quality research
• To transform public and professional perceptions of ageing • To engage with older people and organisations working on
their behalf
MICRA: Research Themes
• Social and cultural change in later life
• Later life working, retirement and pensions
• Frailty, cognition and dementia
• Physical decline and tissue regeneration
• Biology of ageing and the life span
• Inequalities, health and well-being
• Engineering, environment and technology
• Public policy and care provision
MICRA: Public Engagement Strategy
Shaping the debate on population ageing through:
• Influencing government, IGOs, key policy groups working in the field of ageing
• Developing partnerships with organisations working on behalf of older people e.g. Age UK,
International Longevity Centre-UK• Work with local authorities, third sector and housing associations.• An electronic newsletter which reaches over 1400 academics,
practitioners, policy makers and older people.• A re-designed website launched in January 2014
MICRA: Organisation and Research Activities
Inter-disciplinary team of co-directors Institute Manager and .6 administrator
• Supporting age-related research bids across the University• Annual national Ph.D student conference• Seedcorn funding: 95 applications since launch in 2010 with
31 supported• Cross-faculty workshops (e.g. biomedical and social aspects
of frailty, work and retirement)• Supporting areas of research collaboration • Supporting early career researchers
Internal capacity-building and support for research applications
• Dementia Research day: 110 participants• Research event with Engineering and Physical Sciences:
50 participants• Support for development of research network on ‘Work,
Retirement and Pensions’• Continuation of discussions around Centre for Frailty• Support for Horizon 2020 application led by Life
Sciences• Support for two successful ESRC Impact Accelerator
Account applications
Annual Lecture and seminars
• MICRA Annual Lecture given by Professor Peter Whitehouse attracted attendance of c.170, drawn from wide range of professions and academic groups
• 18 seminars in 2014 organised in association with wide range of academic schools/faculties/partner organisations
Links with external partners
• Signing of memorandum of agreement with AgeUK• Extensive programme of work with Greater
Manchester and Manchester City Council (likely to be extended with devolution)• Developing formal partnerships with
international research centres (e.g. ANU)
Communications and marketing
• Resourcing of website/ e-newsletter• New sections added to website reflecting
particular research strengths in age-related areas
• MICRA network increased to c.1,500• Increasing use of Twitter account• Around 1400 people attended MICRA events
in 2014/15
SOME ISSUES
• Where do networks/institutes fit in University structures?
• Accept that not everyone will want to become involved
• Interdisciplinarity is hard work – co-directors drawn from all faculties is important
• There may be a case for identifying key themes• Importance of targeting early career researchers
@EMRAN_ageing
#EM_Ageing
• Issue: the potential of East Midlands to do research in the care of older people is underexploited
• What we want to achieve: a regional network of researchers, stakeholders, patients and the public
• What the network will do: steering group, databases of partners and projects, workshops, newsletters, EMRAN Discussion Papers, website to share and communicate
• What will count as success: more collaborative research in the East Midlands• Challenges: offering a useful product; geographical and stakeholder reach;
sustainability• Time-scale: supported by CLAHRC-EM until end 2018
