The challenge
Research ambition needs an operating model that can deliver.
Healthcare organisations increasingly recognise research as a strategic priority. Yet ambition alone does not create the governance, support structures, workforce capacity or operational processes needed to make research sustainable.
Research Praxis works with leadership teams to understand what is helping research progress, what is holding it back, and what needs to change.
Our work is practical and proportionate. Effective research support should enable clinicians and researchers — not add unnecessary administrative barriers.
Our services
Three connected ways to build research capability.
Engagements are tailored to each organisation's ambitions, starting point and readiness for change.
02 / SHAPE
Design
What should the future look like?
Design a fit-for-purpose research operating model: Research Office services, roles, decision rights, processes, performance measures and an achievable implementation blueprint.
03 / IMPLEMENT
Transform
How do we make change stick?
Practical advisory support to help leadership teams implement improvements, build internal capability, monitor adoption and embed sustainable research practices.
Grounded in healthcare delivery
Built from experience inside a clinical research environment.
Research Praxis was founded by Kristis Vevis, a healthcare research and innovation leader with experience developing research capability within a specialist clinical organisation.
His work spans research strategy, governance, clinical research operations, international collaborative projects and the practical challenges of enabling clinicians to undertake research.
This operational perspective shapes an advisory approach focused on what healthcare organisations can realistically implement and sustain.
