The Celebrating NMAHPPs in Research Conference 2025, hosted by the Oxford Academic Health Partners (OAHP) and introduced by OAHP Chair Professor Sir Jonathan Montgomery, was the first event to bring together NMAHPPs from across Oxford’s two NHS trusts and universities. The day served as a powerful reminder of the vital role NMAHPPs play not only in delivering health and care, but in shaping the future of NHS services through rigorous, practice-informed research.
Prominent themes included addressing health inequalities, advancing inclusive practice, and embedding evidence into everyday care – all key to the NHS’s goals of delivering equitable, person-centred health and care services. Of the more than 80 oral presentations and posters shared throughout the day, many explored research into the experiences of minoritised communities, the integration of digital innovations into care pathways, and improving outcomes in areas such as frailty, cancer, mental health, and long-term conditions.
