Buyacarehome Interview with Arlene Bunton Director, Mac Research and Consultancy Limited
Arlene Bunton is not the kind of leader who sits behind a desk and theorises about social care. Over two decades, she has worked across every level of the sector — from care home floors to integrated joint boards, from homelessness casework to national policy tables — and she brings that frontline credibility to everything she does.
Today, as Director of Mac Research and Consultancy Limited and Operations Director for several companies in Scotland (and England) giving the level of oversight and direction needed, she combines academic rigour with a practitioner’s instinct for what actually works.
In this interview for Buyacarehome, Arlene speaks candidly about what drives her, why evidence-based practice matters more than ever, and what she’s learned from twenty years of pushing for better in one of the most challenging, and most rewarding, sectors there is.
