Introduction
Below are local evidence and research projects undertaken by Somerset Council and local partners.
Somerset Research Engagement Network (REN)
Somerset Research Engagement Network (REN) is a project funded by NHS England. It aims for more people in Somerset to join research studies and make sure everyone has a fair chance to take part. The project team includes people from different groups like Somerset Integrated Care Board, Somerset Foundation Trust, Somerset Council, Spark Somerset and other community groups. They talk to community groups and their members about research to reach their goal.
Breaking Barriers
Breaking Barriers is a project that aims to understand the challenges faced by people with health conditions or disabilities when finding, staying in or returning to work. Our goal is to develop recommendations to help and support people with work.
