The effective harnessing of this clinical leadership is across a group of specialties which have a collective clinical research portfolio worth over a billion sterling (ca. £1b+) containing approximately 2,500 research studies. This was all done by providing a NIHR CRN clinical leadership support function through the development and delivery of initiatives and activities that supported external & internal CRN engagement of our clusters of clinical specialties. The NIHR CRN Cluster teams also worked at a national level on the implications and realisation of overarching emerging technologies and innovations for the NIHR CRN.This new position was a slightly revised NIHR CRNCC role as part of an internal restructuring.
