The University of Bath and the Royal United Hospital are hosting an event which will celebrate the vast amount of exciting health research that is being carried out in the City of Bath.
The Health Research Showcase will be held on Wednesday 17th June and will provide an opportunity to learn about how important health research is for improving people’s health and wellbeing, as well as improving patient experience and care.
The event will provide an opportunity to hear from local experts who will explain how health research is informing how we treat and approach common health issues which could affect any one of us such as cancer, pain, diabetes, arthritis and dementia.
The day will end with an opportunity to meet and speak with the experts during a drinks and canape? reception.
Director of Research and Development at the RUH Professor Mark Tooley said: “This is a great opportunity for everyone to find out about the innovative work that is happening on their doorstep.
“This showcase will cover a wide range of topics close to people’s hearts, such as dementia.”
“A quarter of all beds here at the RUH are occupied by people who are acutely unwell but also have a form of dementia.
“Our joint research with RICE (Research Institute for the Care of Older People) and the University of Bath aims to improve life for people with dementia and this showcase provides an opportunity for people to hear about this and other important work to continue to improve treatment and outcomes of patients now and in the future.”
This event is open to anyone with an interest in health research.
