About the webinar series

Our mission is to ensure that every service user or member of staff, across all of our locations, has the opportunity to participate in and benefit from clinical research and innovation, for better outcomes and increased clinical effectiveness. 

The "Research into Practice" webinar series is a way for our colleagues across the Trust, as well as our external research partners, to find out more about the important work our ten research units are focussing on: this might be studies that are currently ongoing, the findings of finished research projects, or a discussion of future research topics. 

Scheduled webinars will appear below with a link to the registration page. The webinars will take place via MS Teams webinars. After the webinar date, you will be able to watch a recording of it on Research & Innovation's YouTube channel here. 

If you have any queries, problems or feedback about this series, please don't hesitate to contact AskAboutResearch@gmmh.nhs.uk!
