The Science and Technology Committee is today releasing the Health Research Authority’s response to its Research Integrity: Clinical Trials Transparency Report, which was published in October 2018.
The Department of Health and Social Care has also released its response to the report today.
Conferences in the renal community are a key forum to share work and information to the wider multidisciplinary team. In the past few years, as conferences have grown in size, a poster presentation has become an ideal way for new and experienced presenters to show case their work. In this article, ANN UK executive board member Helen Watts explores the art of creating and giving impact to your poster presentation.

Free access. Despite the growth of health science research, there remains a persistent concern over the lack of appraisal of research results and the failure of research uptake into practice and policy (Grimshaw, Eccles, MLavis, Hill, & Squires, 2012). Journal publications and conference presentations are essential for research dissemination within the research community, but are insufficient for improving care standards (Straus, Tetroe, & Graham, 2013). For years continuous medical and nursing education and other professional development initiatives have been employed to increase research utilization and uptake in practice (Davis et al., 2003).
A new report from THIS Institute highlights the valuable role of NHS staff in research and explores how the full potential of their involvement could be better realised.
The potential side-effects of health interventions were not fully reported in more than a third of published health study reviews, research at the University of York has shown.
This is the second independent report on Open Access received from Professor Adam Tickell, Chair of the UK Open Access Co-ordination Group. The first was received in 2016.
It presents a refreshed evidence base, and answers specific questions requested by the Minister for Universities and Science, Jo Johnson, in November 2017.
The response from the minister Chris Skidmore MP to Professor Adam Tickell is available here too.

Open access. Organizational Participatory Research (OPR) seeks organizational learning and/or practice improvement. Previous systematic literature reviews described some OPR processes and outcomes, but the link between these processes and outcomes is unknown. We sought to identify and sequence the key processes of OPR taking place with and within healthcare organizations and the main outcomes to which they contribute, and to define ideal-types of OPR.

In recent times, people with intellectual disabilities are increasingly included in research studies; however, their participation in sensitive research such as palliative and end‐of‐life care is less frequent. The reasons for not including people with intellectual disabilities in these kinds of research studies are issues in relation to obtaining consent, difficulty of recruiting, and engaging and collecting relevant information. This paper aimed to provide insight into how people with intellectual disabilities could be proactively included in research which is sensitive to their unique needs..

In the last Research Made Simple Series article, we briefly outlined the main phenomenological research approaches in relation to investigating healthcare phenomena including Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). IPA was originally developed as a method to undertake experiential research in psychology1 and has gained prominence across health and social sciences as a way to understand and interpret topics which are complex and emotionally laden, such as illness experiences.2 In this article, we detail in more depth, the philosophical and methodological nuances of IPA.
