Deadline extended for the HTA workshop in October https://t.co/00jqg8FKpK

[National Institute for Health and Care Research @NIHRresearch]

🚀 We’ve launched the first round of our Strategic Infrastructure Partnerships (SIPs), a new form of multi-year funding to tackle pressing health and care challenges.

On our #NIHR20 year, we’re building on 20 years of our infrastructure. These SIPs will bring together expertise, capabilities and resources across NIHR infrastructure and the wider health and care system to tackle challenges that no single organisation, discipline or scheme can solve alone.

This first round will support the shift from hospital to community-based care, with up to £45m available.

As our CEO, Professor Lucy Chappell said: “As the NIHR celebrates 20 years, it is looking for bold ideas and ambitious teams to lead these new, transformational partnerships. Our research infrastructure is full of passionate experts, with boundless experience. We want them to unite, combining their strengths with industry, local government, charities and many other partners, to accelerate exciting innovations and research to deliver real, lasting impact for patients across the country, and to drive economic growth.”

[Sarah Lee @westsarahlee]

@Prof_A_Bateman A guaranteed post registration year to consolidate skills? Bit like FY1?

[Andrew Bateman @Prof_A_Bateman]

@westsarahlee yes, i think job planning like this entirely appropriate, and the Deanery that does that work for the doctors does actually have role in NMAHP posts but i'm not aware if they have a person actually focused on it?
