Following the publication of our Five Year Strategy earlier in 2024, and in support of the research, innovation, and improvement pillar, we hosted our inaugural ‘Leading Research and Innovation through Collaboration’ conference on the 11th October 2024 at NEXUS, Leeds.

The event provided an opportunity for colleagues to network, share best practice and successful approaches to research, innovation, and quality improvement taking place across WYAAT.

Attendees included staff working across WYAAT who either lead or actively participate in research, innovation, and quality improvement including doctors, nurses, midwives, AHPs, pharmacists, and healthcare science colleagues. 

We were also joined by Richard Stubbs, Chair of the Health Innovation Network and Chief Executive of Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber and Steve Russell, Chief Delivery Officer at NHS England.
