There are some exciting developments surrounding clinical research within Dorset, most recently with the formation of the Research Active Dorset (RAD) group. The group has a number of representatives from BU, and recently has launched their online platform, which you can find here.

Please see below for a message from the Chair of RAD, Dr Phil Richardson, NHS Dorset CCG:

‘Senior clinical and management research leads from all NHS and Local Authority partners in Dorset have agreed to work together to drive research and innovation to deliver better quality of health and care for the Dorset population. Members of Research Active Dorset also includes Bournemouth University, Southampton University, Academic Health Science Network, Applied Research Collaboration, the National Institute for Health Research and Clinical Research Network (Wessex).

Our aim is to provide research and innovation that leads to better health, employment, economic development, national and international collaboration. Please share the link with all those interested in research and innovation. In the coming months we will be setting up a community of interest.

I look forward to bringing you more news as RAD develops.’
