From October 2024, the current NIHR Clinical Research Network will be changing to become the NIHR Research Delivery Network (RDN).

  • Liaise with health and care staff, patients, service users, general public, commercial organisations, academia and other interested parties with a view to actively increasing the profile of the RDN regionally and nationally by developing strong partnerships and working relationships
  • Identify, translate and disseminate complex messages about RDN services and NIHR activity into clear and compelling communications messages, demonstrating RDN’s impact for a range of stakeholders including patients, carers and the public
  • Work with the Study Participation Inclusion and Stakeholder Engagement functions to maintain effective relationships with customers and stakeholders

  • Support the Communications Manager in the development and implementation of policies within their area of responsibility and input into the development of national policies and guidelines
