A regional roadmap is now available which recognises the value of nurses, midwives and allied health professionals as critical to effective health and social care research.

Strategic health and care partners in the North West of England have joined together to champion new research pathways for those working in health and social care.   

The new North West England Nursing, Midwifery & Allied Health Professionals (NMAHP) Research Capacity & Capability Strategy 2021-24 is available on this site. 

Sponsored by Health Education England North West (HEE), the region’s two Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) from North West Coast and Greater Manchester and led by the NHS Research & Development Team (NHS R&D NW), the roadmap shows how health and social care organisations can support their practitioners to grow their skills in the area of research and contribute directly to enhancing care offered to patients and service users.

The strategy is available in full version; abbreviated version and a Plan on a Page which offers an overview of the key outcomes that the strategy will focus on. Please click the three buttons to access each version.
