FULLY FUNDED MScR - Embedding TEchnology in Care Homes (ETECH)

Project Description

The Embedding TEchnology in Care Homes (ETECH) project is a 30-month, NIHR-funded study that will examine digital maturity in care homes across the UK to co-design practical tools to support safe, person-led digital development.

Associated MScR project: Remote and rural digital maturity

An embedded Master of Science by Research (MScR) student will undertake a focused study on digital maturity in remote and rural care homes. The MScR student will conduct 3-4 case studies in remote and rural care homes, drawing on interviews and observational methods.

• Infrastructure constraints (e.g., connectivity and hardware).
• Workforce digital skills and confidence.
• Leadership approaches to digital strategy.
• Experiences of residents and families.
