Purpose of the RDF

We want to see health & care improvement through quality research
rooted in our organisations and systems, enabled by an
effective and valued R&D workforce.

The Research and Development Forum (RDF) community members work daily to improve healthcare for all by enabling impactful, quality research and innovation to happen across the UK.

The RDF brings this community together with partners to:

  • Advance our practice
  • Shape the health & care environment for research
  • Connect and represent those in health care research management support & leadership roles.

Working together we aim to see:

  1. Embedded research activity
  2. Well managed, quality research
  3. A professional workforce
  4. High value, inclusive impactful research and evidence
