Abstract
Research is essential to advancing clinical treatment, improving treatment outcomes, and evolving healthcare services (NHS England, 2014; NHS England Innovation & Research Unit, 2018). This is recognized by the UK Department of Health, most notably by means of continued multibillion investment in the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), to ensure the proliferation of applied and clinical research (Department of Health Research and Development Directorate, 2006; National Institute of Health Research, 2017). The focal aim of such investment is to support researchers to succeed in completing world-class research that benefits the public and those using the NHS, thus informing practice and policy. Nevertheless, long-standing issues in transforming research into practice persist, with an estimated lag of 17 years between publication and the introduction of an intervention (Morris et al., 2011). Partly in response to this lag, in November 2017, NHS England and the National Institute for Health Research released ‘Twelve actions to Support and Apply Research in the NHS’ (NHS England in partnership with The National Institute for Health Research, 2017). The goal of this joint statement was to highlight how both the NHS and the NIHR, in addition to other NHS-related bodies, could help tackle systemic and local inefficiencies that obstruct the timely production of research (NHS England in partnership with The National Institute for Health Research, 2017).
