NIHR commitment to transparency, the NIHR Journals Library, open access policy, and
endorsement of the World Health Organization joint statement on the disclosure of
results ensures that ideas and knowledge derived from publicly funded research are
made available and accessible for public use.</p><p> </p><p>The National Institute

drugs, devices, digital or diagnostics – can get into the National Health Service
as fast as possible.</p>
