Every organisation across health and social care, industry, and higher education should be actively committed to making this a reality. @newcastleuni.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social

The NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) continues to do exceptional work in this space, but we need more joint appointments, clearer clinical academic pathways, and sustained support to build a larger, more innovative workforce.

It was great to connect with like-minded people, and discuss next steps.
With new wave of motivation and boundless energy! Looking forward to our evaluation planning meeting tomorrow with Allison Farnworth @northumbriauni.bsky.social !

Thank you Janine Smith for helping present our work.
