Annual Report

We at NELFT R&D are proud of the fact that we are a Trust which has received the highest accolade from the Department of Health in terms of our standards of research and publication and training.  We have maintained this high standard for the past three years and we hope to continue in this manner through supporting staff through teaching, training and funding.

As part of the Annual Report we collate information from staff regarding:

• publications
• roles as supervisors
• research awards received

Please let us know if any of the above applies to you as we want to ensure your work is recognised.
