This landmark national strategy was launched on Wednesday, 26th January, 2022:
Allied Health Professions’ Research and Innovation Strategy for England
This strategy comprises a definitive collective national reference statement that encompasses and supports the existing research and innovation strategies of all the Allied Health professional associations.
The scope of the strategy addresses four domains. Each of these aspects are interdependent and are equally important to achieve transformational impact and sustainable change.
- Capacity and engagement of the AHP workforce community, to implement research into practice;
- Capability for individuals to undertake and achieve excellence in research and innovation activities, roles, careers and leadership;
- Context for AHPs to have equitable access to sustainable support, infrastructures and investment;
- Culture for AHP perceptions and expectations of professional identities and roles that “research is everybody’s business”.
The strategy comprises three vision statements which express a clear intention to accelerate the pace of transformational change.
Each of the vision statements is presented in terms of a bold strategic aim, with several related strategic objectives.
These have been purposefully crafted to be measurable within the framework of appropriate evaluation approaches for quality and impact that have been developed within the scope of this work.
Read the full strategy on Health Education England’s website HERE.
The video recording of the broadcast is also available to view from this link on the HEE site.
This work was led by ReSNetSLT‘s Director Dr Hazel Roddam.
The development of this strategy has been a co-production approach with the full engagement of all 14 AHP associations, in close collaboration with the Council for Allied Health Professions Research (CAHPR) and Council of Deans of Health (CoDH).
In addition, there have been extensive consultations, discussions and conversations with many stakeholders within – and outwith – Allied Health disciplines.
The strategy is also based on the foundation of a comprehensive review of international publications related to initiatives for building research capacity and capability.
This strategy is published in the context of a global priority agenda for improving care quality, effectiveness and safety, and to address inequalities in access to services as well as health and outcomes.
Today’s announcement “Breakfast Broadcast” launched a systematic Implementation phase to “Continue the Conversation“.
