The National Institute for Health Research launches its annual campaign, Your Path in Research, today. The campaign aims to inspire and support health and care professionals to get more involved in research.

Over the next four weeks, a series of inspiring case studies, social media posts and video content will highlight the exciting journeys of health and care professionals, as well as share easy ways to find out about the research happening near you.

The campaign landing page - www.nihr.ac.uk/yourpath - highlights four easy ways to become more involved in research as a healthcare professional and how to take the next steps towards a career in research.

Research happens every day, right across all health and care services - from the community to acute trusts. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown just how important research is. Research is critical to help discover which interventions work better for patients and ensures existing treatments are used in the best possible ways. It helps to find answers, fill gaps in knowledge and ensure best practice.
