CLAHRC BITEs (Brokering Innovation Through Evidence)

bites-banner

CLAHRC BITEs (Brokering Innovation Through Evidence) are accessible bite-sized pieces of research that aim to summarise findings from our published work under CLAHRC West Midlands and make recommendations for practice for NHS staff locally and beyond. They were originated and piloted by CLAHRC for Nottingham, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire, and form part of a national library that spans the work of all the NIHR CLAHRC initiatives. Below you can find BITEs on our most recent work, as well as work conducted under the NIHR CLAHRC pilot for Birmingham and Black Country.
