Research in Practice
Dear All,
| All staff can create a free account with research in practice. The evidence has already been evaluated and outcomes shared to make it easier for staff to keep up to date or make implementations to practice. You can register here: Create account | Research in Practice The role of Adult and Children’s Services in better supporting parents with a learning disability |
| A new briefing highlights how Adult Services can better support parents with a learning disability – an issue linked with increased involvement in the child protection system and, too often, family separation. Research shows that parents with learning disabilities are disproportionately represented in the child protection system and more likely to have their children removed. The publication forms part of a growing body of work that aims to strengthen practice, clarify legal responsibilities, and improve outcomes for parents and children.

Digital peer support interventions for people with mental health conditions in outpatient settings
A systematic review and meta-analysis
Source: Croke S. BMJ Mental Health 2026;29(1):1-8.
Studies evaluated digital peer support via online platforms, mobile apps or digital communities for people aged ≥16 years with mental health conditions. Digital peer support offers modest improvements in symptoms and functioning for individuals with mental health conditions and may be considered as an adjunct to usual care to enhance engagement and provide accessible support between clinical contacts.

NIHR helping health and social care delivery adapt to climate change
UK News
The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has awarded almost £700,000 to seven research projects aimed at helping UK health and social care services adapt to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather. The funding supports early‑stage development work focused on strengthening climate resilience across care systems, including improving preparedness for extreme heat, floods and storm surges, which increasingly disrupt hospitals, care homes, community services and access to essential facilities.
The projects will build research capacity, develop stronger partnerships between academics and health/social care professionals, and identify evidence gaps around how extreme weather affects infrastructure, staffing and service delivery—particularly for vulnerable populations. Each project can receive up to £100,000 and may progress to larger NIHR Climate Change and Health Research Collaboration Awards, offering up to £2 million for programme‑level research.
Overall, the initiative represents a major long‑term investment by NIHR and the Department of Health and Social Care to embed climate resilience into the future of UK health and social care. [nationalhe…cutive.com]
