Researchers and academics

We work closely with research and academic organisations, and can help by connecting with innovators, health services and the public to inform research and translate it into clinical practice.

By working with our research and academic partners, we drive change locally and spread it nationally – the rapid adoption of ADHD technology QbTest is one example of how our collaboration with local NIHR partners is transforming outcomes for children and young people throughout England.

We undertake demand signalling – developing insight into future health and care priorities, needs and challenges – which can inform research projects, and our expertise in adopting innovation can help our research partners develop an understanding of the conditions critical to the successful implementation of their outputs.

We collaborate with the East Midlands NIHR infrastructure and universities, and link with local academic partnerships – including Leicestershire Academic Health Partners – which bring together academic and health and care organisations to take forward meaningful research.
