Background
Research into Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTC) is a strategic priority for the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). A Multiple Long-Term Conditions Cross-NIHR Collaboration (MLTC CNC) has recently being established to bring together the NIHR’s translational, applied and policy research infrastructure to respond to the NIHR Strategic Framework for MLTC Research. The aim is to work together to tackle the MLTC research questions that could not be achieved without cross-disciplinary collaborative endeavour. This new collaboration is being led by Professor Kamlesh Khunti and Professor Avan Sayer, and will be inclusive of all parts of NIHR to maximise the use of existing resources, leverage additional funding, attract commercial and non-commercial partners and collaborators, and build research capability, capacity and leadership in MLTC research.
Event Details
The methodologies workstream will be hosting an event that will bring together a small group of experts, including Early Career Researchers from across the NIHR infrastructure to identify the key challenges and potential solutions around methodologies to treat, prevent and manage the consequences of MLTC.
The event will take place on the 15th August, in-person, at Leicester's College Court from 11am-4pm. Please find attached a provisional agenda for the day.
The methodologies workstream is being led by Professor Colin McCowan and Associate Professor Hajira Dambha-Miller.
