About the PRIDES Hub
The RDN PRIDES Hub Project aims to further standardise the Health Informatics (HI) development and sharing processes currently undertaken by RRDN staff, GP practices and study teams.
The PRIDES Hub will build on the successes of the Pilot Initiative, moving it into a second phase aimed at supporting the integration of the Initiative into RDN CC and RRDN business-as-usual processes as well as complementing other NIHR digital continuous improvement activities (such as the RRDN PIC Project and NIHR Find, Recruit and Follow-Up).
The priority areas of Hub activity are to develop:
A business-as-usual (BAU) delivery model
High profile primary study support
RRDN workforce capacity building (workforce development)
External and internal communications
EC&E activities
Research codes and text messaging
Stakeholder engagement (e.g. GP system suppliers, NHSX)
Network readiness for commercial offers
The Hub will work with the RDMs in each RRDN to identify three groups of people: a) RRDN staff who already have IT skills that could be applied to PRIDES work, b) GPs or GP practice staff who are skilled in this area and are research-active, and c) staff who would be interested in developing those skills in order to support research activity.
These activities would enable them to start delivering work in each of the four work streams described in the Hub Operational Manual, by collaborating with staff in the RRDNs, determining learning and development needs, providing immediate support for RRDNs in which there is a skills gap, facilitating development of training and learning materials and the communication routes needed to make them widely visible and accessible, and providing a central development, quality assurance and test site identification service for the RDN.
Although precise details are yet to be confirmed, it has been pointed out that Industry sponsors could be charged a fee for the service which could subsidise the work carried out for non-commercial studies.
