We’re updating our website

We are currently updating the ARC KSS website to reflect our new funding and the changes it brings to our programme of work.  These changes will take place over the course of the next few months.

Please bear with us while we work behind the scenes to make these improvements. We thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, if you need help finding anything, please contact spft.arcksscommunications@nhs.net

To help researchers on their journey, NIHR ARC KSS Academy has just launched a Learning and Development Finder database. This new tool is populated with details of regional and national courses, webinars, face-to-face events and useful workshops on a range of topics that include: critical appraisal, grant development & writing, research methods and statistics - to name but a few.

The Learning and Development Finder can be found on our website here.

If you have a course or event that you would like us to include, please drop an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
