MCH Research

Last week we had a really good team development session generating lots of ideas on how we can become more research active and promote research. We welcomed 3 of the Clinical Leads from across some of our teams into the fold who are supporting research delivery 👋 @NIHRrdn

I’m delighted to share the @NIHResearch Annual Report for 2024/25 - a snapshot of the incredible work done over the past year to deliver life-changing research for the health and wealth of the nation. Learn more in the report published today:
