The WY R&D team helps to ensure that commissioning decisions are based on robust evidence through the sharing of best practice. We communicate study findings and research opportunities, and we have hosted a number of events that provide a knowledge exchange forum for NHS healthcare professionals. We also support researchers to communicate and translate their findings into NHS settings, giving them opportunities to reach decision makers and practitioners.
We develop events where researchers can share evidence in areas of particular interest to commissioners and other health professionals in a timely manner to support their decision-making. Recent events have focused on cancer and palliative care, elderly care and frailty, mental health in primary care, earlier diagnosis of cancer and on improving prescribing.
The West Yorkshire R&D team seeks to share findings of research studies. Study teams looking to share their research findings can contact us to discuss ways of sharing research findings with GP practices, colleagues and commissioners. We have established a repository where end of study reports, research outputs or links to published articles can be shared and accessed.
