We have a programme of work which discovers novel treatments that improve patient outcomes Many diseases which we diagnose in our patients remain challenging to treat successfully. Even for the many diseases for which treatments are available, the therapies can have side-effects which significantly impact on patient quality of life. Consequently, many clinical researchers in the hospital are actively leading research programmes which aim to identify novel therapeutic targets and to turn these findings into transformative treatments for our patients.
