We have developed a number of accessible bite-sized pieces of research - CLAHRC BITEs (Brokering Innovation Through Evidence) - which aim to summarise findings from our published work and make recommendations for practice for health and social staff locally and beyond.
Newly published BITEs will be detailed in future editions of our News Blog, and a list of previously published BITEs can be found here.
