Research summary
There has been an immense amount of work and numerous changes implemented in health and social care delivery as a result of the impact of COVID-19. This programme of work intends to capture examples of changes made across health and social care organisations in the NW Coast of England, and document learning that could be transferable and be important for future practice in the NW Coast and across the UK. The organisations involved in this work includes partners of the Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care System, Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership and the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration NW Coast.\n \nThis 4-stage programme involves a mixed methods qualitative and quantitative design in stages 1 and 2. An online survey will be used to capture general information on changes implemented in health and social care organisations across the NW Coast, including the NHS, local authorities and voluntary sector. Stakeholder groups for each sector will review and select changes for further investigation by semi-structured interview. Selection will be made based on identified, set criteria. Participation in stages 1 and 2 should take no more than an hour. The survey and interview will be based on the NASSS Framework (non-adoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, sustainability) which is used to predict and evaluate the success of technology-supported health or social care programmes. \n\nFollowing analysis, outputs of this programme will then be presented to stakeholders in stages 3 and 4 to agree priorities, and rank changes that could address longer term solutions to other problems that have existed and persisted since before COVID-19, or are new problems as a result of COVID-19. These could then form implementation and evaluation projects that organisations delivering health and social care in the NW Coast health may wish to develop.
