Evidence for Policy
The HRB is creating a series of events, podcasts, videos and articles under the heading, Evidence for Policy (EfP), aligning with the theme of our National Conference at the end of the year.
The purpose of this initiative is to help and inspire researchers and policy makers to work together to use evidence to deliver better health policy and practice.
Over time, this page will build into a repository of expert voices in research, evidence and policy making giving guidance and sharing experience.
