The official launch of the Brighton and Sussex Health Research Partnership will be on the morning of Friday 30th September 2022, at ACCA (Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts), University of Sussex, Falmer.
At the Launch we hope as many people working in health and care research from across the partnership organisations as possible will come together to learn about the HRP and contribute to its direction. We will hear from the executive and workstream leads about work already underway, and plans for the next year. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions, and contributions. The programme will facilitate networking and should be a great opportunity to build the strong relationships we hope will define the HRP.
Poster and stall space will be available for organisations and researchers interested in working with the partnership to showcase their work. To book a stall space email healthresearchpartnership@bsms.ac.uk.
