The transforming research delivery programme
In 2021 the NIHR Regional Networks were given new funding to help us support research in wider health, care and community settings and services. As a part of this funding, new research delivery teams have been set up to engage and recruit with local wider care and community settings.
Our mission is to create opportunities for everyone to have access to health and care research.

Informed Consent Training
As a member of the delivery team working in the wider care and community you may need to communicate and consent with vulnerable adults who lack capacity through research in social care or hospice settings, with young people and children through research in schools or remotely so you may find the below training very useful in this role.
This course is for those not delegated the duty of Informed Consent but who are interested in research and an introduction to informed consent.
Social Care is a complex setting complex setting likely to involve vulnerable individuals who may lack capacity to consent - you must make sure you are comfortable with assessing capacity and consenting adults that lack capacity.
This course introduces the requirements of the process of informed consent with children in research
Technological advances in the way we deliver studies has meant that research consent conversations are not always face to face, this means we have to adapt our skills and our practice. Learn more about Remote Consent with this course and also find out about top tips to build your confidence.
