Working with Provide's Research Office

The Research Office is responsible for the research management, support and leadership of all aspects of research across the trust and performs a variety of roles and functions to drive and deliver clinical research in a supportive and safe environment. It is the first port of call for research activity in the trust, developing strategy, facilitating and enabling research, and managing research business and operations.

We drive strategic initiatives to help embed research in the clinical pathway and foster a high value research-active culture, to lead and grow research, improve research impact and build quality evidence for health and care.

The team has a key role to play in building relationships both within the trust and externally, supporting researchers, promoting research activity and performance, and creating a positive environment for staff and patient and public involvement in research.

We work closely with researchers and research delivery teams, which may be embedded in clinical areas and academic partners, and also external partners such as commercial companies, grant awarding bodies and academic institutions reporting regularly to the Trust board on progress and performance.
