Research Centre for Impactful Personalisation Evidence (RECIPE)
TLAP is part of an exciting and important opportunity to improve the evidence base for personalisation. We are supporting a bid to establish a research centre for personalisation. The proposal has been developed by the Policy and Research Evaluation Unit, Manchester Metropolitan University, led by Professor Chris Fox.
A number of TLAP partners have signed up to be “Impact Partners” who, if the bid is successful, will contribute to shaping the research programme and translating the findings into practice. People who access care and support will be integral to supporting this research. Details of the research proposal can be found at http://www.mmuperu.co.uk/projects/personalisation-the-evidence-based

State of Caring Survey
Carers UK is asking for help to give it the evidence it needs to support its campaigns and give a real-time picture of what it’s like to be a carer in 2018.
This year, Carers UK is campaigning for carers to be able to access a break from their caring role, for a rise in Carer’s Allowance and for stronger rights for carers who are juggling work and care. Social care and the NHS will be at the top of the agenda again this year too and Carers UK want to make sure that pressure on carers is at the centre of discussions about more funding. Evidence from carers via the State of Caring Survey 2018 is integral to this.
This is the most extensive survey into carers' experiences in the UK. As a result, it will take at least 20 to 30 minutes to complete.

Disabled people split over personal health budget expansion plans
The recent government expansion of personal health budgets has divided opinions amongst disabled people. There are those who see it as part of “planned creeping privatisation of the NHS.
TLAP’s Chair Clenton Farquharson MBE offered his views. As someone who has championed for the rights of inclusivity and in his role offering advice to policy makers and national bodies, he sees the ambition of personal health budgets as “driven by a need to effectively integrate health and social care that will help minimise costly, confusing and unsustainable processes that, in my experience, has had a negative impact on my life”.
