NHS R&D Forum Groups
ICB Research Leads Group
The Integrated Care Board (ICB) Research Leads Working Group is set up to bring together those individuals whose remit it is to lead, support and enable ICBs to meet their statutory duties in relation to research and the use of evidence from research. It also provides a forum to meet with stakeholder organisations operating in England.
The purpose of the group is to provide peer support for those individuals leading and managing this agenda in ICBs, to share learning and best practice and develop new resources. The group also acts as advocates, influencers and agents for improvement both within their own Integrated Care System (ICS) and by feeding into England wide senior policy and decision makers and reporting back.
