CeNREE is committed to involving patients, family members, friends, carers and the public in research activities at UHNM NHS Trust. We support research that is carried out with or by members of the public, rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them. Many opportunities are available to anyone interested in getting involved with the research that Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professions are conducting at the trust – so contact us today to register your interest.
