Episode 12 - The DACHA Study part 1

Welcome to this episode, where we dive into another ambitious project shaping the future of social care in the UK — the DACHA Study. DACHA, short for “Developing research resources And minimum data set for Care Homes’ Adoption,” is a groundbreaking national research program aimed at creating a consistent, evidence-based approach to data collection in care homes.

 

In this episode, we’ll explore how the study is helping to build a minimum dataset that supports better decision-making, improves resident outcomes, and enhances research and policy in the adult social care sector. We’ll hear from those involved in the study, uncovering how DACHA is bringing together fragmented data systems and laying the groundwork for a more integrated, transparent, and person-centred care model.

 

 

Whether you’re a care home professional, policymaker, researcher, or just passionate about improving later-life care, this conversation will give you deep insights into why DACHA matters — and how it could transform the way we care for some of the most vulnerable people in society.
