The NIHR Annual Report 2009/10: Embedding Health Research is now published. The report, with a Foreword by Earl Howe, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Quality, provides a snapshot of the NIHR’s achievements throughout 2009/10 and demonstrates that research really is the foundation stone of a strong, efficent, cost-effective health system that works for patients, healthcare professionals, industry and policy-makers.

Professor Dame Sally C. Davies, Director General of Research and Development at the Department of Health says:

“What a great story this Annual Report tells. It clearly demonstrates, through a broad range of human interest case studies, the many and varied ways the NIHR is making a real difference through the NHS to the lives and health of patients and the public.”
