A new package of interactive learning resources is now available to support research delivery professionals in promoting research to colleagues across the NHS. These resources have been developed to support and inspire research delivery staff in their pledge to embed research in innovative ways across their organisation.
The ‘Engaging with your local NHS’ package sits on NIHR Learn, the NIHR online Learning Management platform, used to deliver its accredited learning programmes. You can access NIHR Learn if you are employed by the NIHR, NHS, a UK university or other publicly funded organisation conducting and supporting clinical research. If your email address ends in one of these pre-approved domains you can self-register for the system. If you do not have an email address from a pre-approved domain your application will be considered for approval.
