| NIHR/SHA joint health research conference |
|
|
| The NIHR and SHA joint Health Reseach Conference was held at the Madejski Stdium on November 28th. Speakers included Sally Davies, Paul Glasziou, Don Nutbeam, John Newton and Anoop Chauhan. With over 300 delegates the event was a real success and feedback from people indicated that everyone felt that they had taken a lot away from the day.
The event really highlighted the fantastic research that is going on across the South Central region and that there are so many more opportunities for researchers, both established and new, to obtain NIHR funding.
Copies of the presentations will be available on the website below later this week. |
