By using our collective expertise, knowledge and skills in new and exciting ways we can work together to accelerate change and identify innovative solutions across the health, care and education sectors.
Initial priorities include embedding research and innovation into new and existing educational programs for health, social care and health improvement so students benefit from the very latest research findings and best practice, using data to drive forward change and innovation and identifying a number of initial projects to focus on over the next two years.
