HSC R&D Strategy - Research for Health & Wellbeing 2007-2012
The HSC R&D Strategy was developed to promote high quality health
& social care R&D relevant to the needs of NI. It also aimed to provide equality of opportunity
amongst health professionals and support for HSC professions and care sectors that do not have a long-standing
R&D tradition. The document provides a strategic framework for delivering high quality, relevant
and co-ordinated HSC R&D. For a copy of the document please contact Dr Janice Bailie.
R&D Today
The R&D Office produces a twice yearly newsletter (R&D Today),
a hard copy of which can be obtained upon request to the Office.
