Applied Health and Care research is essential in our region if we are to improve the care and operation of our health and care systems.
Professor Alison Richardson, Director of the NIHR Wessex Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), will be talking about the newly formed ARC Wessex, which is working across the region with its partner organisations to bring the best research into practice.
ARC Wessex aims to address the immediate issues facing the health and social care system. The research programme focuses on four areas:
- Ageing & Dementia.
- Healthy Communities.
- Long Term Conditions
- Workforce and Health Systems.
There are a number of initial projects underway – for further information see our website.
This event is open to everyone across Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and South Wiltshire – Our Wessex community. Please book your place: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nihr-arc-wessex-skills-and-implementation-in-health-and-care-research-tickets-86901836733
