We recently celebrated our first year of recruitment to BaBi Harrogate! 🥳

Born and Bred in Harrogate is being run at @HarrogateNHSFT as part of a group of research projects about families and children to help us learn more about how they can live healthier, happier lives.

[HDFT Research & Innovation @HDFTresearch]

Over 1,200 local mothers and babies have been recruited to the project so far. 3 important priority areas have been identified for research projects: 1) childhood obesity; 2) lower deprivation communities; and 3) children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

We celebrated #Red4Research Day at our team Wellbeing Day this week, wearing red to show our appreciation for all those undertaking, supporting and participating in clinical research. 💃

Staff also brought some delicious home-made food to share.

Today we're celebrating the incredible people who make health and care research possible.

Some of our staff wanted to share a special video message on #Red4Research day. How many languages do you hear?

[HDFT Research & Innovation @HDFTresearch]

Happy #Red4Research Day from all of us at @HarrogateNHSFT's Research and Innovation Team! 🎈

Congratulations to Lindsay (Oncology Research Nurse) on receiving a Making a Difference Award from @HarrogateNHSFT! She was nominated for going above and beyond to support a patient she noticed who looked unwell. Her swift action prevented their deterioration. We're very proud 👏

[NIHR Research Delivery Network @NIHRrdn]

Thanks to the contributions of our volunteers, research takes place to help improve care and find the treatments of tomorrow.

There's many ways to be involved. Rianna took part in research as a healthy volunteer after losing her grandfather to dementia:

When we think about dementia, many people only think of Alzheimer’s disease.

But research into other forms of dementia is important too.

Watch a video of Professor John O’Brien @Cambridge_Uni speaking about this research below 👇 https://t.co/pPQqbeYPk8

[NIHR Research Delivery Network @NIHRrdn]

With over 30 Alzheimer’s drugs being trialled, research is closer than ever to life-changing breakthroughs 🚀

Rob is taking part in a clinical trial into whether early treatment could slow or prevent dementia. 🧠

The BSRBR-RA study has been open at @HarrogateNHSFT since 2011 and we've recruited 127 participants so far. Follow-up remains ongoing.

The study first opened nationally over 20 years ago and there have been over 100 research papers published from the data during that time!

[NIHR Research Delivery Network @NIHRrdn]

The BSRBR-RA study is one of the largest studies in the world monitoring the long-term safety of new drugs prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis.

To keep everyone updated, the study team has started a new blog series.

Our Oncology Research Team recruited 49 patients to Mammo-50 between 2014 and 2018, a fantastic achievement considering our official target was 10 patients.

It is encouraging to see evidence for safely reducing the number of mammograms needed following breast cancer surgery.

[Warwick Cancer Clinical Trials @CancerWarwick]

Some results from Mammo-50. Outcomes are similar when women >50yrs with early-stage breast cancer have mammograms less frequently - reducing NHS burden and patient inconvenience/anxiety. Thank you to the 21 @nhsswft patients who are participating in this trial. #bepartofresearch
