Black History Month - where do ethnic minorities get their health information from?

Black History Month - where do ethnic minorities get their health information from?

October is a vital and important month for many ethnic minorities especially the Black community. In the UK Black History Month is celebrated every year with a different theme. This year’s theme is ‘Action not words’. In recent years we have seen the rise of Black communities and individuals sharing their experiences about the inequalities and injustices they go through. In this episode we speak to Tony Ndung’u, an emergency department nurse with a passion for research. We discussed the meaning of this year’s BHM theme, also his journey into research and Pre-doctoral Clinical and Practitioner Academic Fellowship Scheme also known as the PCAF, looking at where ethnic minorities get their health information particularly during the pandemic.

The Health Education England (HEE)/NIHR scheme offers salaried time to develop a doctoral fellowship application and to undertake funded academic training. It’s open to early career researchers from the health and care professions (excluding doctors and dentists) who are committed to a clinical academic or practitioner academic career.

What is genomics and how can healthcare workers use it?

What is genomics and how can healthcare workers use it?

Leaps forward in the understanding of the Human Genome in recent years stand to offer huge benefits to patients - including the possibility of personalised care.

As a large acute hospital, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the organisations at the forefront of this exciting health revolution, which also brings some challenges.

But what does Genomics mean in reality to healthcare professionals working at NUH? And how can they access genetic medicine services - including testing for patients, in their day-to-day practice?

Dr Matt Hall, a consultant nephrologist based at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, is medical lead for the Genomics Medicines Service Alliance (GMSA), which is trying to embed genetic medicine into everyday practice.

What is Nottingham's Clinical Research Facility planning? Interview with deputy director Prof Chris Fox

What is Nottingham's Clinical Research Facility planning? Interview with deputy director Prof Chris Fox

Nottingham's long been a leader in researching and treating blood cancer - we pioneered blood stem cell transplantation and we're still one of the biggest centres in the UK. We bring together oncology, clinical haemotology, neuro imaging and surgery and over the last five years we've increased our experimental cancer research trials by 30 percent.

So it's naturally one of the priorities of our new Clinical Research Facility, which recently had its £2.6 million pound funding confirmed by the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research.

The Nottingham facility's team delivers early phase experimental trials not just in cancer, but across the board, including areas such as gastro intestinal disorders, inflammatory conditions, musculoskeletal conditions and respiratory diseases. It's closely integrated with the hospital  and is expanding its inpatient, day beds and out patient facilities, including for children as well as adults.

Its new deputy director is Professor Chris Fox, a consultant haematologist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, who has a track record of research into lymphoma and stem cell transplantation, among other things. I spoke to him as he was taking up his new post.

How do you explain your research? Interview with Rory Cellan Jones

How do you explain your research? Interview with Rory Cellan Jones

However good research is, if it stays in the lab or on a hard drive somewhere, isn't going to help anyone and of course the reality is that researchers do literally get points for how many people see their publications. But how do you do that? How do break out of the world of peer reviewed journals and 

This episode is an interview with Rory Cellan Jones who was the BBC's tech editor so he's been explaining complicated stories to mainstream audiences - by which I mean non-technical audience =s - for forty years. Now he's freelance, publishing a weekly newsletter and tweeting about tech, and particularly health tech. He's also been diagnosed with Parkinson's so unsurprisingly he has a particular interest in its treatment.

I met him recently at a conference organised by Health Data Research UK and sat down with him to pick his brains about the care and feeding of journalists - how researchers can get journalists' attention, how to explain complicated, nuanced ideas to journalists, and whether being a patient has given him a new perspective.

Rory's Twitter is @ruskin147. He's the author of a book about social media use, 'Always On’ and his newsletter is at https://rorycellanjones.substack.com

However good your research is, if it stays in the lab or on a hard drive somewhere, isn't going to help anyone, or let alone improve your REF number. But how do you cut through and explain your research to a wider audience? In the next episode of the Nottingham Clinical Research podcast, I talked to former BBC tech editor Rory Cellan Jones (@ruskin147)about how to explain science to non-scientists.

How do we detect breast cancer earlier?

How do we detect breast cancer earlier?

One in eight women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and like most cancers, the sooner it can be detected, the better the patient's prospects. That's why there's a national screening programme for women over fifty. which has been successful at cutting the mortality rate.

But it's a one size fits all solution at a time where medicine is getting more personalised. Some breast tissue is denser than others, and the denser it is, the more likely it is to develop a cancer, and the more aggressive that cancer is likely to be. So anything that can help differentiate fom person to person what's going on, early on, will improve how effectively we can treat cancer.  

Being able to use dye to help imaging is one of those ways, and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust was one of the first hospitals to be able to to carry out contrast mammograms using dye. That expertise has meant we're part of the BRAID trial  the acronym in this case stands for Breast Screening – Risk Adaptive Imaging for Density and means we can offer it at early stage in the process. 

Dr Elisabetta Giannotti, a consultant breast radiologist, is leading the trial at Nottingham.

How do you ask research questions that numbers won't answer?

How do you ask research questions that numbers won't answer?

If your child was seriously ill enough that they had to take their nutrients through a tube into their stomach, you might assume as a parent, you'd follow everything medics told you to the letter. But a few years ago, doctors and nurses began to realise that rather than the prescribed commercial 'feed', a lot of those parents were giving their child real food - blended up. Researchers started to ask what the effect of this would be.  But for Professor Jane Coad, who's now head of Nottingham's Centre for Children and Young People's Health Research, there was a deeper question to ask.

How cultural awareness should change clinical research - and researchers

How cultural awareness should change clinical research - and researchers

This week our guest is Professor Guru Aithal, Deputy Director of the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre and a world-leading researcher in gastrointestinal and liver disorders.

Professor Aithal talks to Matt Hurst from Research & Innovation about how science and his own personal experiences have shaped his views on why every researcher needs to build trust with ethnic communities.

In a wide-ranging conversation Professor Aithal gives his perspective on the lasting legacy of historic unethical research practices, the impact of Black Lives Matter, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and health inequalities. He draws on his own research in the UK and in India into the impact of diet on gastrointestinal health and also the significant inequality in rates of premature death from liver disease in different populations.

Redthread youth violence intervention programme

Redthread youth violence intervention programme

An introduction to a report on a joint project between Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (and the Major Trauma Centre it hosts), and national charities Redthread and the Health Foundation.

Violent crime victims are often caught up in a lifestyle that's going to see them returning to Nottingham's emergency department over and over again, often with more and more serious injuries. It's not just a healthcare issue, it's also about law and order, safeguarding and social care. 

But while we're treating their injuries, there's also a chance to break that repeated pattern. Nottingham University Hospitals sees a lot of victims of violence, partly because it's in a big city, but also because it hosts the Major Trauma Centre for the East Midlands region.

We've been working with Redthread and the Health Foundation on how we can bring together healthcare, law and order, and social care, and we've just published a report on what we found.

This report has been written independently under the guidance of The Health Foundation, an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.

Allied Health Professionals leading clinical research

Allied Health Professionals leading clinical research

Increasingly clinical research is being led by a broader range of clinical professionals - but there is more to do to encourage physiotherapists, healthcare scientists and every profession to make research part of their careers.

In this episode Vicky Booth, a physiotherapist from Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust explains to Matt Hurst of the Research & Innovation department how working with falls patients who also had dementia led her to develop her own career as a clinical academic. 

Vicky is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham School of Medicine specialising in rehabilitation research. She is also one of the Allied Health Professional Clinical Academic Co-Leads at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust supporting the capacity and capability development of clinical academic careers in the hospital's AHP workforce. Vicky talks to us about how she is now working with other clinical academic leads in Nottingham to encourage others to follow their own route into clinical research and ultimately better care for patients.

Diabetes Week and fatty liver disease

Diabetes Week and fatty liver disease

This week is Diabetes Week so I've been speaking to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust hepatologist Professor Guru Aithal, whose research includes investigating fatty liver disease. Research is showing that diabetes and fatty liver disease have the kind of relationship where if they were in the same class at school, you'd separate them to stop them egging each other on.

We talked about how that relationship works, as well as how a better understanding of genetics means we'll be much more able to predict who'll respond to what kind of treatment, and why we need a genetic database that isn't so skewed towards western ethnicities.
