We are delighted to share that our research colleagues are featured in the Our Research Story exhibition, which was launched last week by Leeds Hospitals Charity.
Featured in national news, the exhibition highlights the impact of patient-focused research at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, showcasing its role as a leading research centre with support from the charity.
Among those featured is Professor Ryan Matthew, who leads on a project from our Surgical Technologies theme into enhanced preparation for surgery. His work evaluates the latest virtual and mixed-reality technologies to enhance patient consent, support surgical training, and assist in planning complex procedures.
Also included is Melanie McGinlay, a Heart Failure Clinical Nurse Specialist, who is researching ways to reduce heart failure hospitalisations using predictive modelling and physiological data. Melanie has also received funding from Health Education England (HEE) / NIHR Pre-doctoral Clinical Academic Fellowship (PCAF) for her work.
The exhibition was launched on Thursday, 13 February, bringing together guests from partner organisations, as well as patients and their families. On Friday, it moves to the Bexley Wing of St James’s Hospital, where it will run until Sunday, 23 February, as part of LTHT’s Research and Innovation Week. From there, it will be displayed at the Parkinson Building at the University of Leeds until Sunday, 3 March, providing an opportunity for the public to visit.
It is also available at the Leeds Hospitals Charity website.
