Northumbria University researchers are celebrating a key milestone in the development and delivery of an innovative new programme designed to improve care for older people.
Northumbria University developed the Enhanced Care for Older People (EnCOP) programme in partnership with the North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Ageing Well Network, to understand the workforce development needs and challenges associated with caring for older people.
The project provides education, resources, networking opportunities, career development and research centred on high-quality, evidence-based care. It was designed for those working with older people in health and social care settings – from community case managers, care workers and speech and language therapists, to social workers, physiotherapists, nurses, doctors, paramedics, social prescribers and pharmacists.
