Holders of all CSO awards must produce an executive summary as part of their final report. The aims of these summaries are:
 |
to provide more effective dissemination of research findings and implications to policy makers and health service managers in a form which is more likely to catch attention and provoke thought than a conventional research report |
|
to encourage researchers to consider how their findings may contribute to the development of health service policy and practice |
CSO has guidelines for the writing of Focus on Research. Please click here for further information.The summaries are available to download in PDF format and are indexed and colour coded according to priority areas - yellow = cancer, red = CVD/stroke, dark blue = mental health, light blue = public health, green = NHS needs. The lists are updated following each research advisory committee meeting.
