Liver disease mortality has increased by over 250% since 1971, during a time when deaths from other major causes of premature mortality (such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease) have all reduced. We are therefore looking to provide research funding for high quality proposals that will address important evidence gaps in liver disease research. Find out more and apply: https://lnkd.in/dmuU3WA6

📰 Innovative research in Greater Manchester is investigating if a portable, pacemaker-like device could significantly improve life for the more than 36,500 people in the UK every year left with permanent arm weakness after a stroke – a serious life-threatening medical condition that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. In Manchester, the TRICEPS study is being led by Leanne Calcutt Specialist Stroke Physiotherapist, from Manchester Local Care Organisation’s South Manchester Community Stroke Team, part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust . TRICEPS aims to learn if stimulating a nerve, called the vagus nerve, through the ear, using the wearable device, whilst moving the weak arm can help to improve arm recovery. The study is funded by a partnership between the Medical Research Council and the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research). Stephen is the first participant in the North West recruited to the TRICEPS study 👇 https://lnkd.in/eRC-qrBq

💬 “We want research for the people, not people for research” 💬 “Everyone’s live experience is different” 💬 “I am a unique individual with my own toolkit” In May, the NIHR Race Equality Public Action Group held a conference to connect and share different voices. Public contributors covered a range of topics and shared their experiences, from Alan’s as someone with a visual impairment to Asima and Farzana’s on discrimination and positive experiences in maternity services. All speakers had a call to action to motivate service improvement in the healthcare and research sectors. You can take a closer look at all the key themes of the conference, and find an audio-visual and text alternative for the graphic, here: https://lnkd.in/eXa-h-mh
