We’ve made significant investment in research into child health this year, most notably the Children’s Health Outcomes Research at Leeds (CHORAL) programme and the National Institute of Health and Care Research’s INSCHOOL study.
Other areas supported include stroke, barriers to kidney transplantation, liver perfusion, microbial resistance, immunotherapy, end-of-life care for patients with heart disease and treatments for patients with cancer, including the use of artificial intelligence in detection and oral health care during chemotherapy.
Funding for publications and conference attendance, meanwhile, provided opportunities for researchers to share their research outcomes and keep abreast of trials. This year also saw a number of previously - funded research projects reach conclusion with positive outcomes for patients in Leeds, including studies of melanoma and brain tumour immune response. This is precisely why we’re so passionate about funding research and innovation in particular – because data shows that research-active hospitals ultimately deliver better patient care.
Leeds Hospitals Charity is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities and all research and innovation grant funding is awarded in line with its policies and principles.
