NIHR CRN North West Coast Research Bus Feedback

NIHR Clinical Research Network North West Coast (CRN NWC) is commissioning a Research Bus to increase engagement in health and social care research, especially in areas with low participation and high levels of health and social care needs. 

Initially, a 6-month lease is being used to pilot this initiative and evaluate its impact on engagement and uptake in underserved areas.
