Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the four-year Inspiring Students into Research Scheme (INSIGHT) will be delivered in partnership with health and social care employers throughout the North West. It will focus on training newly qualified health and social care professionals to understand research and use it effectively to underpin their practice. This will be done primarily through degree programmes that address health and care challenges and build regional capacity for the delivery of high-quality research and implementation.

INSIGHT’s main aim is to develop a highly skilled research savvy workforce equipped to tackle the complex health and care challenges of the future and navigate a landscape of widening health inequalities, where people are living longer but with complex health conditions. UCLan says that with the NHS under strain due to staff shortages and funding cuts, this type of investment in the skills of health and social care practitioners is essential to develop solutions to overcome the challenges faced.
