"I dreamt-up the concept of the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and persuaded ministers that we needed it."

In 2006, @UKAMREnvoy laid the foundations for a research system that would transform health and care in England.

Watch her interview and learn about the bold ambition behind NIHR’s creation, the importance of securing long-term investment in research, and the drive to ensure that evidence informs policy and practice. #NIHR20
