Viva Engage: Research Departments Forum
Date: 21 October 2025
Thank you to Sarah Hall, Research Governance Manager at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust who has shared a Research Departments Forum that she has created on Viva Engage. Viva Engage for the NHS is a Microsoft tool that serves as a social networking platform for employees to connect, share knowledge, and build communities within the NHS mail environment. Only available to those with an nhs.net email address.
The new Viva Engage forum is dedicated to professionals working in research roles across the NHS and academic institutions. Whether you’re involved in research governance, delivery, support, or leadership, this forum is here to help you connect, collaborate, and share knowledge.
Join the conversation to:
- Discuss R&D policies, practices, and challenges
- Share resources, opportunities, and insights
- Seek peer support and advice
- Strengthen the voice of the research workforce
Please note: At present this is separate forum to the R&D Forum Hive Mind, but we will monitor accessibility to Viva Engage and we can consider collaborating for Hive Mind in the future
