The NIHR Industry Hub: Meet our research delivery infrastructure experts. Thursday 21 May 2026, 1 - 2 pm BST, online.

Join us on Tuesday 30 June, 2.30 - 3.30 pm BST for our next webinar:

As the first point of contact for patients accessing our NHS, primary care offers unparalleled recruitment and real-world research delivery potential. While many global sponsors are seizing this opportunity, others have yet to feel the full power of primary care, which includes: general practice, community pharmacy, dental, optometry services and allied health professionals.

Join this webinar to deepen your understanding of the primary care research landscape and learn how the NIHR Industry Hub can help you unlock the benefits of delivering commercial research in this agile environment.

Our host, Professor Phil Evans, National Associate Director of Health and Care Research, will be joined by the following panelists, who will share insights and case study examples:

  • Dr Angela Parker | Chief Operating Officer, Fylde Coast Clinical Research, and Head of UK Vaccine Innovation Pathway
  • Dr Simon Royal | Director of NIHR Nottinghamshire Primary Care Commercial Research Delivery Centre
  • Professor Margaret Ikpoh | NIHR RDN National Setting Lead for Primary Care
