The ‘Clinical Research Impact’ award, sponsored by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network, was recently presented to Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust at a ceremony in London, after demonstrating how it has taken a multi-faceted approach and introduced numerous new initiatives throughout the organisation to maximise the impact of research.
Jonathan Sheffield, chief executive officer of the NIHR Clinical Research Network said: “What’s happening in Portsmouth is impressive. The Trust has truly embraced clinical research by introducing a wide variety of initiatives that are both highly replicable and scalable. What is really exciting is how they feed the results of research back into their services and treatments so that the impact can be felt by all patients served by the Trust.”
