The NIHR West Midlands Regional Research Delivery Network enables the health and care system to attract, optimise and deliver research across the region. It is one of 12 Regional Research Delivery Networks in England, working together as one organisation with joint leadership.
Hosted by The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust and funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, the RDN's vision is for the UK to be a global leader in the delivery of high quality research that is inclusive, accessible, and improves health and care. Please contact them at wm.rrdn@nihr.ac.uk.
These case studies give an idea of the primary care activity in the Network:
