The SHORTER Trial is a randomised controlled trial of SHORT duration antibiotic thERapy for critically ill patients with sepsis.

One of our lovely patients has today consented to be part of this trial ❤️. This will help us to understand future antibiotic needs.

What a great day with our Critical Care PPI Partners at our annual 'Gathering 2025'

There were discussions on document review best practice, what makes a good 'welcome' to new members and Dr Tom Craven dropped in to talk about the impact of PPI partners on our research.

Severely ill patients in ICU/HDU (eg. heart attack/kidney failure) can have damaged blood cells that can cause organ failure.

The LicuiD study looks at DNA/RNA from blood samples (liquid biopsy) that will help us understand the disease and may lead to better future treatments.

Every day we give our patients the opportunity to take part in research. Various studies are taking place right now on the ICU/HDU wards - here are 3 👇 🩺

* EMUs - monitoring post surgery
* TRAITS - precision medicine
* GenOMICC - compare DNA/cells for new treatments
