On Tuesday 22 November 2022 at 10:00am – 12:30pm, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) are hosting a virtual event to support those doing multiple long-term conditions or multimorbidity (MLTC-M) research to understand how to achieve impact through effective engagement with policymakers in the health and care system.
Aims of the event:
- To identify pathways to impact and implementation for MLTC-M research
- To share best practice for engaging and influencing policy makers on MLTC-M research
- To understand the challenges in achieving impact from MLTC-M research and identify how we can overcome them as a research community and as funders
- To facilitate networking between research groups working on MLTC-M research.
This event will be of interest to people working in and using MLTC-M research, including early career researchers, those involved in public and patient engagement, and policymakers.
The event will be a forum for discussion, with the opportunity to ask questions and for sharing practical tips. The event will open with a keynote presentation from Professor Lucy Chappell, CEO of the NIHR and DHSC Chief Scientific Advisor, and will be followed by panel discussions with policy leads working in health and social care across the UK. With plenty of time for discussion, the event will spark conversations between people with experience of conducting and applying MLTC-M research.
