Free NIHR Research Conference - Thursday 18 May 2023
Are you interested in supporting or conducting research as part of your role? Have you an interest in research but remain unsure where to start? Or are you already engaged with research and wish to expand your activity and support others? Then please consider registering for the NIHR Research In Primary Care Setting Event. This is open to all clinicians in primary care and practice managers. Please note do not register if you are unsure of your ability to attend and as such may not make it on the day, places are limited and it prevents other staff from accessing this event. Many thanks for your cooperation.
