Although I do not live in Wales (but have Welsh connections) I sought permission from Ina to post this item as it reminded me of the research project I still carry around and have raised here previously.
Working in community mental health I've been struck on several occasions by the impact of sudden re-locations that older people make amid the trauma of the loss of their partner. The effect of bereavement and moving home on them, their family has dramatic consequences, depression, anxiety, stressed relationships, relapse of physical health problems. What are embryonic relationships with new GP and social care services are also severely tested. Perhaps others can pick up this subject wherever you live? Given the capabilities of research today, the relevance of findings could be further increased spreading the research across multiple sites, towns, cities and contrasted with rural settings?
