Research & Innovation Presentation Dr Elizabeth Price R&I Director
Introduction Research is an integral part of NHS activity and is essential for finding new and better ways of preventing, diagnosing and treating illness. Involvement in research brings a number of benefits to the Trust: Early access to new interventions Improvement to patient outcomes Opportunities for staff development Income generation The Research and Innovation team s role is to enable clinicians to perform research safely, ethically and efficiently. This in turn allows them to focus on the care of their patients and the quality of the data they collect.
Current Climate Generic research teams to maximise efficiency and use of resources Increasing use of Allied Health Professionals and Practitioners working closely with Principle Investigators NIHR targets now require us to demonstrate delivery of research across all specialities within the Trust. R&I Team assess feasibility, manage approvals process and support delivery
