Six health and social care researchers at Bangor University have been appointed Health and Care Research Wales Senior Research Leaders by Health Care Research Wales. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The six are among 18 new appointees following a competitive process and assessment by an independent panel of senior UK health and social care experts. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

They were judged to be among Wales’ leading researchers for the evidence they provided against the following selection criteria: ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

  • Quality and volume of internationally excellent research

  • Impact of their research on improvements in health or social care and wealth generation
  • Relevance of research to patients, service users and the public

Health and Care Research Wales Senior Research Leaders will undertake a number of activities in their role.

The Senior Research Leaders will support the next generation of promising researchers in Wales through the Health and Care Research Wales Mentoring Scheme. The pilot phase of this scheme, launching soon, will focus on pairing Senior Research Leaders with Health and Care Research Wales funded students and fellows within a developmental mentoring relationship. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
