A report has
been published by the NIHR, which details the independent evaluation of a
national initiative to improve patient outcomes; by bringing together producers
and users of health research evidence.
“Collective
action for knowledge mobilisation: a realist evaluation of the Collaborations
for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care” (CLAHRCs).
The
evaluation was led by the University of Bangor, in collaboration with
colleagues from some of the CLAHRCs around the country. The final report can be
found in the NIHR online journal library.

The protocol
for the study was published in 2011, in the journal Implementation Science and can be found here.
The CLAHRCs are
an initiative by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to develop collaborative
partnerships between the National Health Service, public services and Higher
Education Institutions, focused on improving patient outcomes through applied
health research and evidence-based implementation.
In addition
to the internal evaluations of individual CALHRCs, the NIHR commissioned four
independent research projects, which all took different approaches to gaining
further understanding of these complex, inter-organisational programmes. The
recently published report is the result of one of these projects.
