Welcome to Research, Innovation and Knowledge Mobilisation
Research is vital in providing the evidence we need to transform services and improve outcomes, such as in developing new models of care, redesigning urgent and emergency care, strengthening primary care and transforming mental health and cancer services.
This page links to our system partners, funding opportunities, events and our supporting projects and programmes of work.
The Health and Care Act 2022 (the 2022 Act) sets new legal duties on ICBs around the facilitation and promotion of research and innovation in matters relevant to the health service, and the use in the health service of evidence obtained from research.
ICSs are encouraged to develop a research strategy that aligns to or could be included in their integrated care strategy. This is all set out in maximising the benefits of research: guidance for integrated care systems.This guidance sets out what good research practice looks like and supports integrated care boards in fulfilling their research duties.
We work closely with Wessex Health Partners and Health Innovation Wessex who support research and innovation across our system.
