The School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) is one of nine departments in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health. It brings together a wide range of health related skills in four academic sections and also houses the NIHR Research Design Service for Yorkshire & the Humber (http://www.rds-yh.nihr.ac.uk/) and the Clinical Trials Research Unit. ScHARR employs over 200 academic and related staff from disciplines such as Health Economics, Operational Research, Sociology, Medical Statistics, Nursing, Psychology and Information Science. There are also clinical skills in Public Health; Emergency and Vascular Medicine; Rehabilitation and Mental Health. My role is critical to the business development, knowledge transfer activity and income generation of ScHARR. Working alongside the Innovation and Knowledge Transfer (IKT) Director, and other colleagues across the University, I lead the IKT support team to deliver a high-quality service, managing and advising staff on all processes and procedures relating to IKT. I lead responsibly for supporting IKT activities and business development, team member supervision, and client engagement to enhance the outcomes of ScHARR’s knowledge transfer portfolio.
