Our strategic vision is to develop and sustain a positive culture within the Trust and across our system in which research can flourish.

Our strategic approach is supported by strong relationships with system partners which include the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Research Consortium (HWRC), the University of Worcester (UoW), Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) partners, namely Herefordshire Healthwatch and Worcestershire VCSE Alliance, Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board (HW ICB), the Research Delivery Network West Midlands (RDN WM) and its Partners Organisations (PO).

The Research Delivery Team is multidisciplinary and works predominantly remotely delivering research in the community. We are mostly funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) via the Regional Research Network West Midlands, to deliver NIHR ‘portfolio’ research studies which cover a range of health topics. The Team also delivers commercial trials e.g., Clinical Trials of Investigational Medical Products (CTIMPS) on behalf of industrial companies, such as a pharmaceutical company.

Through research, we can significantly improve the health and wellbeing of local people and contribute to reducing health inequalities. For staff, getting involved in research can make our Trust a great place to work, through a range of development opportunities.
