Research Week 2024

This year, the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Kent, Surrey and Sussex (ARC KSS) held its fourth Research Week from Monday 9 - Thursday 12 September.  The week included a range of learning and development events, research insight talks and presentations specifically aimed at applied health and social care researchers, including early career researchers in practice and PhD students.  View the programme here.

Throughout the course of the week we have pulled together some highlights of the presentations and, once finalised, recording links from events will be uploaded.
