National survey of local innovation and research needs of the NHS

National survey of local innovation and research needs of the NHS
AHSN April 2019
  • Findings from a survey of clinicians and managers (n=257) to identify local NHS innovation and research needs in England indicates that the priory research needs were around workforce issues, mental illness, older people, frailty, multi-morbidities, use of technology and support for implementation of innovation.
  •  Whilst there is a wide range of research taking place, the problem that many stakeholders identified was the lack of awareness of research and issues around implementation.
