NIHR Digital
Working together to personalise and modernise research
The NIHR Digital Transformation
The NIHR wants to make the most of digital so that we can accelerate treatments and improve outcomes for patients. We're doing this together through a cross NIHR programme of work and in partnership with patients, public and researchers. We have the opportunity to work together in innovative and exciting ways and we've created this site to support this. This work is supported by Dr Louise Wood (Director of Science, Research and Evidence at the Department of Health).

The roadmap planning phase of the NIHR's future Digital Strategy is nearing completion with 21 workshops having taken place over the past eight weeks. The final workshop that took place on 2 November focused on the development of workplace tools, and the outcomes from all of the workshops have now been uploaded to this microsite.

NIHR team presents at Leeds Digital Festival 2020
Last week members of the Digital Office and wider digital leaders from NIHR hosted a session at the Leeds Digital Festival 2020. The focus was on how digital innovation is changing health and care research and rising to the challenge of getting effective research in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the use of national data to identify the places of the greatest need for research. Other themes centred on the world of ‘lifestyle’ and wearable data and how that may impact our health and welfare in the future, as well as how the NIHR’s Digital Strategy is leading us to new ways of involving the public in research – and how Covid 19 has accelerated our digital ‘push’.
