As part of our work supporting you, over the coming months we are going to be highlighting the learning and development opportunities available via some of our fantastic partner organisations.

This month we are spotlighting the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) North East and North Cumbria – a partnership that brings together six regional universities, health and social care providers, local authorities, the voluntary sector, community groups, members of the public and others.

The ARC’s vision is to achieve better, fairer health and care at all ages in all places, with their work organised around seven key research themes:

• inequalities and marginalised communities;
• prevention, early intervention and behaviour change;
• supporting children and families;
• multi-morbidity, ageing and frailty;
• integrating mental and physical health and social care;
• knowledge mobilisation and implementation;
• research methodologies; and
• they also support research around mental health, and social care.

On their website, you will find information about their research and projects, opportunities to get involved, news, training, events, and resources.

The ARC hosts a Virtual College Training Hub, which brings together all the latest training and career development opportunities for members under themes like personal development, research skills, project delivery, impact, and more!
