We co-design and deliver research and innovation workshops, drop-in sessions and formal training programmes.

An example of this is the accredited Researcher Development Programme delivered in conjunction with the NHS R&D North West. This has been specifically developed to close the gap in non-medical principal investigators; targeted to allied health professionals, nurses and midwives, the programme is accredited by the University of Liverpool as a Master’s module.

Capacity building is an important part of LHP, there is a clear need for improving the pipeline of new investigators across our system. See our investigator handbook which was co-authored by our partners to support prospective investigators by providing a step by step guide and links to resources.
