Great to finally meet our cousin Monty visiting us from further North than we are! We had a little bit of a Mobile Vehicle Face Off but remain friends ☺️🚐

A big thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Primary Care Research Evening at @bihr.bsky.social!
We had inspiring talks, great food, & brilliant conversations about how research can change lives in primary care. Special thanks to our speakers and organisers — you made it happen!

🚐 What a fantastic day celebrating the launch of @mrvinbradford.bsky.social! We are so pleased to have been a part of this event with @cityofresearch.bsky.social

A huge step forward in making health research more accessible and inclusive for everyone.

Special delivery day! Members of our team visited the build site to drop off specialised equipment and saw the incredible progress first hand. Nothing beats seeing your vision come to life! The excitement is building as much as the vehicle itself.

Interior framing is taking shape! Installing the structural framework that will house our medical equipment and create functional workspaces. We want MRVin to be a space that our participants enjoy being seated in and our teams are comfortable taking road trips in!

Installing MRVin's battery bank! These high-capacity batteries will power all our medical equipment and systems, topped up by solar panels for sustainable, off-grid research delivery. We're really excited for our EV - Clean energy meets community care!

Powering up MRVin's interior! Installing outlets, lighting systems, and data connections throughout the vehicle. Reliable power and connectivity are essential when bringing our Mobile Research Vehicle on the road

MRVin is transforming from a custom-built box into a fully functional research facility on wheels. Soon we'll be able to bring research to our communities, directly to their doors!

We’re so happy to see MRVin’s interior coming together, it’s really starting to take shape now! Not long before we can hit the road and meet our local communities. #WatchThisSpace

MRVin is being suited and booted! Our mobile research vehicle will be instantly recognisable as it travels through Bradford. Make sure you tag us in @mrvinbradford.bsky.social if you spot us around the city!

We’re making sure MRVin has all the right kit! Our mobile research vehicle will have state-of-the-art equipment while maintaining a welcoming, comfortable environment for all – as well as ensuring we contribute to cleaner air in our city with our fully electric vehicle

MRVin won’t have his wires crossed!🤞 Electrical systems are being installed in our mobile research vehicle! This will power vital equipment and ensure we can conduct a wide range of studies regardless of location.

MRVin is starting to come to life! Earlier last month, @mrvinbradford.bsky.social's vehicle framework was installed and we finalised equipment specs. Getting closer to bringing research to your doorstep!

Recap of MRVin’s construction! After the chassis arrived, @mrvinbradford.bsky.social really started to take shape. This marked a major milestone in our journey to make health research more accessible to everyone in our community.

Let’s introduce you to @mrvinbradford.bsky.social - pronounced Marvin😊. This custom-built fully electric vehicle will feature a multi-use clinical space alongside a second waiting area. We’re thrilled to share as the blueprint becomes reality!

Exciting news! We @bihr.bsky.social are building a mobile research vehicle to raise awareness & bring research studies directly to communities across Bradford. Using this, we hope to reach more diverse participants who might not otherwise access health research opportunities.
