Films & Animations

The NIHR has produced several films and animations to help raise awareness of research since launching. 

NIHR films

You can see the films that the NIHR has produced on the NIHRtv YouTube site. We also made some films to help promote the research being done in the region and to help explain our services.

Be Part of Research and help to shape the future


We are thrilled to share our new film to raise awareness of health and care research, which you can watch on NIHRTV YouTube now.

It explains the vital part research plays in improving treatments and care happening at hospitals, GP practices, and in wider care around the region. It also highlights the incomparable role our participants have in helping to make research happen.

We have also created two shorter (45 second) versions of this film, which you can use for social media: One and Two

Making research happen in care settings

Watch our short film to find out why research in social care settings, like care homes, is so important. Hear from care home managers, social care researchers and NIHR research nurses about why they are involved in research, and learn how you can also get involved. 

The NIHR is working with people across care homes, hospices, local authorities and other areas to grow research happening in wider care and community settings outside the NHS. 

How can CRN East of England support your research?

Watch our film to find out how the NIHR's Clinical Research Network can help you apply for funding, connect with NHS teams and engage participants who would like to take part.

Please feel free to share this with your networks in meetings, training, at events etc.

Shorter versions

We have also created a shorter 3 minute version of this film in case time is limited and a 1 minute version for use on social media.
