Welcome to R&D

NHS North West has high aspirations for R&D in the North West. Our ambition is that:

• The North West is perceived to be the place of choice to undertake high quality health research without delays
• The North West's high quality research strengths are nationally and internationally recognised and acknowledged.
• The North West has a high calibre R&D workforce and infrastructure to deliver high quality research.

NHS North West R&D Team aims to co-create a strategic approach to R&D. We facilitate NHS organisations and Universities working collaboratively to develop and secure high quality, innovative bids for research funding. We aim to speed up the process of taking research breakthroughs into NHS patient care to improve treatments and patient care locally and for the wider NHS.

We are always interested in new ideas which align with our aspirations. Please get in touch if you are interested.
