Today our NIHR HAPRU Director @barbarahanratty.bsky.social contributed to the HSR UK Conference 2025 opening plenary panel, "The NHS Ten Year Plan: How might health services research respond?" #HSRUK2025
Great opening plenary at @hsruk.bsky.social about how we as H&SC researchers make impact on policy. Lots of useful advice: share green shoots with caveats, involve local MPs, acknowledge different timescales, ensure representativeness throughout, work with third sector to mobilise findings #HSRUK25
