Since 2018 the NIHR research networks have been providing more support to health and care studies taking place in non-NHS and out-of-hospital settings - such as primary care (in all its forms), public health research within local authorities and social care research in places such as people’s homes, care homes, hospices, prisons and schools, to name but a few.
With the expansion of work into new areas, SE RRDN has grown its Research Delivery Team, part of its Study Support Service. The team focuses on supporting health and care research within the outside-of-hospital setting, as most health and care activity happens outside the hospital environment.
Organisations like local government, schools and care homes want to do research but they do not have the infrastructure and systems in place in which to do that research. This is where the SE RRDN Research Delivery Team can help.
The team cover all three of our counties - Kent, Surrey and Sussex and comprise nurses and practitioners who have experience of delivering health and care research across different types of organisations and settings and across a number of specialites.
If you would like to request support from the Research Delivery Team please email se.rrdn@nihr.ac.uk.
“Our practice is engaged in NHS research, but this has been made possible through the excellent support we have received from the NIHR nurse team. The pressure on primary care nursing is such that we have struggled to find sufficient staff time in house. The NIHR nurse team have been invaluable in the process of initiating and completing research in our practice”
