On 15th February 2021 ARC NWC Research Fellow Dr Clarissa Giebel, of the ARC NWC HaCAL theme, participated in a webinar focused on the experience of unpaid carers, who support people with long-term care needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Featuring evidence from India, Germany and the USA on the type of support available for carers during the pandemic, Dr Giebel fed back findings from her latest COVID-19 research in the UK.

The webinar forms part of the programme of work of International Long Term Care Policy Network (LTCcovid). LTCcovid aims to document the impact of COVID-19 on people who rely on long-term care (including unpaid care) and those who provide it, share information about policy and practice measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in long-term care and gather evidence about their success or otherwise, and analyse the long-term implications of this pandemic for long-term care policy.
