Video interview with Professor Wendy Wills
Having previously been ARC EoE's theme lead for Prevention and Early Detection in Health and Social Care, Prof. Wendy Wills brings a wealth of expertise and knowledge to this role.
In this interview below, Wendy discusses next steps for the ARC programme, offers her thoughts on how we can better serve our communities and reflects on the changing landscape of health and social care research.
It is really important that we make sure we use research evidence and it's implemented across the East of England. This is something we need to do even more of […] We need to work out who or where is of most value and mobilising and translating that knowledge with our partners across the area.
