Making Research Count Events Organiser

As the events organiser for Making Research Count (MRC) at the University of Bedfordshire, I work with Gayanthi Hapuarachchi to facilitate a programme of conferences and practice development seminars on topical issues for social work and social care.

Making Research Count (MRC) is a national collaborative research dissemination network, run in collaboration with King’s College London. The aim of MRC is to promote communication and knowledge sharing between academics and social care professionals to enable frontline staff to benefit from the latest research and development. This is done through an ongoing programme of conferences, seminars and workshops.

We provide a series of journal clubs, and an enquiry/sign-posting service for our members.

We produce a quarterly newsletter, detailing MRC's programme of events and other research-related news items.

We have formed partnerships with our member agencies to promote knowledge-based practice and improve services in social work, social care, and their interface with health and education across Children's and Adults' Services.
