From RDS South Central

Welcome to the June issue of the RDS South central update.

Since the last Bulletin we have elected a new Government and there has been much speculation regarding the changes (if any) that we can expect within NHS research.

The overall message that we’ve recieved is that its ‘business as ususal’ for the NIHR and that the RDS (and all NIHR units) are to continue to support the healthcare R&D strategy.
