Research and innovation hub to launch at University of Lincoln medical school

The Hub brings together NHS organisations, Lincolnshire County Council, universities and other partners, and the Lincolnshire public to increase Lincolnshire’s capacity and capabilities for research, innovation, evaluation, and improvement.

Together, they have a huge ambition to grow at pace and create a significant change in the research and innovation culture for the benefit of Lincolnshire’s rural and coastal communities, its workforce and to have further reaching impact regionally and nationally.

Research and innovation helps to provide the evidence needed to make changes to services so that they can continue to improve. The Research and Innovation Hub is part of Lincolnshire Improvement for Everyone (LIfE) which strives to make continual improvements to the services received by the people that live and work in Lincolnshire.

The event starts at 1pm, and attendees can hear from keynote speakers, including Sir Professor Jonathan Van Tam, the former Deputy Chief Medical Officer, ahead of participating in Q&A sessions and hearing about examples of excellence already happening in the county.

A network reception will then follow from 4pm to 5 pm, with cake and refreshments.

There will also be the opportunity to interview key Hub members.
