Introduction• This report is a high-level overview of the first 12 months of the Health and Care Research Centre (HCRC). The key outputs from the HCRC are listed in appendices. • The launch event was held on 28th of November 2024.

1. Key achievements• The HCRC was set up to garner engagement with nurses, midwives and AHPs across three Schools in HeMS and to return to the Unit of Assessment Three (Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy) of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) in 2029. This is to profile the practitioner led research, impacting on health and care policy and provision in ARU. These goals necessitated the active inclusion of research only, teaching and professional staff in the development of research capacity and capability in the Faculty. • As the planning for the REF progresses, academics associated with HCRC and from across the three Schools in HeMS are represented on the Unit of Assessment Three Advisory Group. Specifically, seven nursing, midwifery and AHP staff are convenors and members. External advisors from these disciplines have also been appointed and these initiatives provide an important link between operational planning for the HCRC in support of high-quality outputs from NM&AHP along with other academic groups. • All staff within the three schools are eligible to engage with HCRC and over the 12 months more than 73 have become involved across five research groups. Most notably, 13 academic staff have agreed to an interim role as research group leader and their achievements will be reported later. Research group leads are typically an Associate Professor (AP) and an Early Career Researcher (ECR) who have partnered to plan for research in five key areas.All groups have completed the following; • Invited colleagues and formed a group with regular meetings (min 3 per annum) to report and plan research • Identify sub themes and recognise topic areas of potential in terms of contemporary need and/or fundable propositions • Undertaken a seminar and additional events to showcase individual research outputs and/or impact • Maintained a record of activities and achievements • Applied for and employed Post Doc Researchers, supported PhD students and undergraduate student interns to provide experience and learning within the research group delivery

HCRC Collaborations In the last 12 months the HCRC has achieved the following strategic collaborations with direct service, patient and population benefit. •Several HCRC researchers are actively contributing to the WHO Regional Office for Europe priority initiatives including future workforce, hospital resilience and nursing and midwifery leadership for digital transformation • ARU via the HCRC has become a full member of the NIHR ARC East of England with Professor Janes on the management group and Dr Emma Kaminskiy as Co-Chair for the Mental Health Work stream. Enhanced ARU involvement has led to a further NIHR £16.5 million grant application for applied research in the region and access to additional role-funding • HCRC has partnered with ESNEFT to build and maintain clinical academic AHP capacity and capability.• HCRC has partnered with MSE for funding from NHS England to deliver and evaluate workforce innovation initiatives. For example, the Community Academy included the introduction and evaluation of new AHP Lecturer Practitioner roles and optimisation of the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme in primary care as part of the EPIIC (Eastern Partnership for Innovation in Integrated Care) collaboration. •HCRC has supported a co-operative approach to regional university partnerships to secure national NIHR funding in clinical academic capacity building for NM&AHPs. This includes the funded MRes INSIGHT programme (led by University and Hertfordshire/University of Essex) and NIHR ARC internships with multiple staff from HCRC as supervisors and mentors. • A major cross cutting theme in the HCRC has been internal collaborations across faculties and research groups to achieve new opportunities for grant capture, PhD supervision and relationship building based on shared research interests and networks. The ARC Institutes have notably supported multiple projects, and the Centre will continue to work proactively across research groups where there is collaboration in health and population wellbeing.

2. Research development and leadership • Establishing a cadre of esteemed national/international visiting scholars to support applied nursing/inter-prof research e.g. Assoc. Director for Leadership, RCN; Chief Nursing Information Officer for England (CNO’s Office) • Enhanced research outcomes included in the metrics, for example grant income, high quality publications, and invited international presentations for nurses • Increased staff engagement in focused research activity for impact, supported by structured research mentoring. Example staff comment – “I’ve never felt so supported for research as I do now” Short Reports from the Affiliated Schools 1. School of Nursing 2. School of Midwifery and Community 3. School of Allied Health and Social Care • Continuing the Researcher Support Group, engaging ECRs and other novice researchers • Making links with James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership in LGBTQ+ Reproductive Health• Significant development of collaborations with Veterans and Families Institute with funded fellowships• Co-ordination of the HeMS research seminar series x 20 sessions for researchers • Public Health, Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy developed an audit of Planetary Health in the curriculum using the Planetary Health Report Card and working with GSI (Global Sustainability Institute) Education for Sustainability • Research mentoring established across subject areas with specific response to ECRs and MCRs who are seeking promotion and to establish a research profile alongside their teaching contracts.
