The University of Reading has joined a five-year research collaboration to develop and test practical solutions that improve health and care services for communities across the Thames Valley and beyond.
The NIHR ARC Thames Valley is hosted by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and co-led by the University of Oxford and Aston University. It is one of ten ARCs across England funded through a national £157 million investment by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
The NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) Thames Valley aims to make health and care better, faster, and more efficient for patients. It will focus on developing new ways of preventing and managing health conditions and moving these into practical use. This will ensure the latest research directly shapes the way health and care services are designed and delivered.
