NHS R&D Forum Groups
Research Communications Group
Research communications has shown its value like never before, and there is a huge appetite for information about COVID and non-COVID clinical trials and studies taking place in NHS trusts across the country.
If you have contacts doing a similar research communications role in other trusts, please ask them to contact Rachael via info@rdforum.org.uk so she can set up a distribution list.
Aims
This group aims to discuss and develop best practice for research communications; to share ideas and issues; and support policymakers and the R&D Forum to implement consistent policies and guidance related to research communications.
Meetings will be quarterly and virtually.
