Research Strategy 2026-31
Our Research Strategy 2026–2031 sets out how we will expand research opportunities for patients and staff, strengthen partnerships, increase participation across our communities and embed research more deeply within everyday clinical practice.
The strategy also outlines our vision for supporting innovation, developing our research workforce and ensuring that more people can benefit from research, regardless of where they receive care.
Research Event on 8 July 2026
This year we hold our annual research evening at West Middlesex University Hospital, and everyone supporting and interested in our research is invited to join us in person – or follow the live stream online. The joint event with Imperial College London is in the evening of our Research, Innovation and Quality Improvement (RIQI) event.
