Health Research Development Program

Helping healthcare organisations across the globe adopt best research practices.

In strategic partnership, our program experts can advise on optimising research efforts and global standards, processes and techniques. We help establish a research culture amongst healthcare professionals resulting in improved patient outcomes, healthcare quality and efficiency.

What is the Health Research Development Program?

Delivered by an enthusiastic and passionate medical and neuroscience doctor with broad experience in clinical practice, research, and medical writing, our program is designed to support healthcare organizations working towards research objectives, by understanding their challenges and working together to address their pain points.​

We understand the challenges involved in health research publishing, and given the experience we have in this topic, both personally and as a company, we believe we are in a unique position to provide useful and practical insights to health researchers with different levels of experience.

The Health Research Development Program (HRDP) supports researchers through key stages of the publication journey—from building a strong research foundation to identifying the right journal and applying practical strategies to enhance global visibility. Our aim is to foster confident, evidence-based publishing that drives impact in healthcare.

The Health Research Development Program delivers dynamic online, in-person or hybrid masterclasses designed to boost your research writing and publishing success. Each 1.0–2-hour session covers key topics—from ethical research practices to effective manuscript writing and global visibility strategies. Sessions include live Q&A, a certificate of attendance, and access to recordings and slides. Whether you're just starting out or refining your publishing skills, these masterclasses are for you.

Tailored HRDP: Custom Masterclasses for Institutional Impact

As part of our commitment to fostering a culture of evidence, we offer the Tailored Health Research Development Program (Tailored HRDP)—a customizable series of masterclasses designed to meet your institution’s specific needs. While our core sessions provide a strong foundation in health research publishing, we understand that some organizations may benefit from a more consultative, long-term approach. 

We’re happy to explore a tailored program with you, including a needs assessment and the design of a strategic masterclass series aligned with your goals. If you're interested in building research capacity and visibility within your organization, we invite you to reach out to us to start the conversation.
