SUMMARY:Greening & Nature-based Interventions for indoor and outdoor environments
DESCRIPTION:Prof Kumar will be discussing his work with the RECLAIM Network Plus\,  the GREENIN Network Plus  and GP4Streets\, as well as his wider Global Centre for Clean Air Research work. \nRECLAIM Network Plus is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for towns and cities to find the information and support you need to install green and blue infrastructure in your communities and to put you in touch with others with similar interests and experiences. \nPeople have been using plants such as ferns and succulents to brighten up their homes for millennia\, but how much of an impact do they have on our environment and wellbeing? A new project led by the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) will explore the role of plants and green infrastructure in improving indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and promoting health in the face of climate change. \nAt GP4Streets\, we recognise that streets are the heart of our neighbourhoods\, yet they are often the most deprived areas in terms of green-blue-grey infrastructure (GBGI). Our vision is to transform these urban spaces into resilient\, sustainable environments through innovative\, do-it-yourself (DIY) GBGI solutions. \nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:Local Capacity and Capability for Research
DESCRIPTION:A one-day course designed to provide an understanding of the requirements of an NHS organisation when determining whether to take part in a particular research study as a host. It explains the principles of good study set up\, the information required by the R&D office and where it can be obtained. It introduces delegates to the various systems and documents associated with research and also provides some guidance on developing relationships with key support departments and stakeholders within an NHS organisation. \nCourse Structure \nThe first half of the day concentrates on making delegates familiar with process. The second half is spent putting everything into practice working through an example study. The course is a mixture of traditional trainer presentation with interactive activities and discussions. \nWho is the Course for? \nAll staff working in R&D offices\, who are responsible for assessing\, arranging and confirming local capacity and capability when taking part in research \nSponsors of health research\, particularly those from outside the NHS\, who will get a better insight into the requirements of NHS R&D to ensure that their study and documentation facilitate the process \nResearchers designing studies that will involve the NHS\, particularly those new to NHS research and/or from outside the NHS\, who can get a better insight into the requirements of NHS R&D and ensure that their study and documentation facilitate the process. \nMore information and registration.

SUMMARY:The ‘big shift’ from hospitals to communities
DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Centre for Health Services Research (CCHSR) is delighted to host Professor Martin Knapp who will present at its Annual Lecture\, taking place at Thursday 6th November 2025\, 12:30-13:30 via Zoom. \n\nRegister here. \n  \nShifting care from hospital to community settings is at the heart of the NHS 10-Year Health Plan for England and wider government policy. This is not a new ambition: ‘care in the community’ was heavily promoted from at least the 1960s for people with mental health problems and learning disabilities. What are the chances of success today? \n  \nThis year’s lecture will be delivered by Professor Martin Knapp\, who will draw on decades of experience and evidence from four key clinical areas: dementia\, mental health\, respiratory and cardiometabolic conditions. Martin Knapp is a Professor of Health and Social Care Policy\, and Professorial Research Fellow (CPEC)\, at the Department of Health Policy at the London School of Economics. He will explore the innovations\, opportunities\, and challenges facing the NHS in achieving this ambitious transformation. \n  \nThe Annual Lecture will be hosted by Jon Sussex\, Chief Economist at RAND Europe and Co-Director of CCHSR\, and RAND Professor Stephen Morris at the University of Cambridge and Co-Director of CCHSR. \n\nThis event will be held online and recorded\, to be published on YouTube. This lecture is open to policy professionals\, media\, researchers\, practitioners and members of the public. \n  \nWe look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a compelling discussion.
