title: Research and development in the new NHS: another challenge for the profession.
abstract: The continued implementation of the NHS research and development (R&D) strategy is the latest pressure point in the interaction between the medical profession and the new NHS. As the established funding routes for the support of clinical research are scrutinised and desegregated, there will be disaffected losers as well as winners. Further discussion and debate are needed.
