Job Purpose

The Collaborations for Leadership In Applied Health Research and Care for West Midlands (CLAHRC-WM) is a five-year NIHR-funded programme with a mission to create lasting and effective collaborations across health and social care organisations, universities (Birmingham, Keele, Warwick) and local authorities to improve services for patient benefit.

The programme is funded through a £10 million investment from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) together with a further £20.6million of matched funding provided by collaborative partners.

CLAHRC-WM’s work is supported by new scientific ways to measure the impact of changes and to make sure the best care is spread so that it can be delivered everywhere. In five years, the outcome should be better health, a better prospect of staying healthy, and a service in which every pound of the public’s contribution goes on services that use the best evidence of what works.
