Building a research conscious workforce

Abstract

With the aim of building a research conscious workforce, the former Northern and Yorkshire Research and Development office explored the nature and purpose of research and development (R&D) support for NHS staff. Part of the study used a questionnaire to seek healthcare professionals’ R&D education and training needs. Some findings were unexpected, such as the significant differences between professional groups’ needs and preferences. Recommendations, therefore, include local, flexible R&D education and training programmes.
