Primarolo: NHS Health Research Shapes Up For The Future, UK
A progress report is published by the National Institute for
Health Research (NIHR), which summarises all the progress that has
been made putting in place the infrastructure, programmes and systems
to facilitate health research - since the government launched the
Best Research for Best Health strategy in January 2006.
Also launched is a new section of the NHS Choices website,
which is designed to give patients and members of the public more
information about how to get involved in clinical trials.
The main progress highlighted includes:
- NIHR clinical research networks have been set up to support
clinical trials throughout England, and promote patient and public
involvement in health research. They are already boosting the numbers
taking part in clinical trials improving their speed, quality and
co-ordination.
- A good example is cancer research. The UK now has the highest
national per capita rate of cancer trial participation in the world.
- Creating world class centres of excellence around the country. £450
million has been invested in eleven new biomedical research centres
which are investigating major causes of illness and death such as
cancer, heart disease, asthma, HIV, mental illness, blindness,
childhood diseases and ageing.
- The NIHR is now commissioning more research through our new and
expanded programmes and world class research centres. In 2006/07 our
Health Technology Assessment Programme funded 22 new projects at a
cost of more than 15 million pounds. In the same period we expanded
our Service Delivery and Organisation programme to include new topics
and areas and funded £45 million in programme grants.
The new 'Health Research' feature of the NHS Choices website provides
information for those who are interested in all aspects of research -
from setting research priorities to actually participating in trials
themselves. The emphasis today is about ensuring medical research is
relevant and benefits all communities across the country.
Clinical trials are research studies where patients test treatments
or approaches to prevention or diagnosis to see if they are safe and
effective, and any better than what already exists.
As well as encouraging more patients to take part in clinical trials
there is also a need for more people to get actively involved in
their development. It is not only patients who can do this, but
carers, parents, and members of the public. This includes helping
researchers to identify and ask the right questions in the right way
and making sure that health and social care research is relevant to
all those who use health services.
Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo said:
"The Government is committed to making the NHS in England a centre of
excellence for health research. To do this we need the help of the
public in getting involved in health research across the country.
"In October 2007 the Government confirmed its commitment to
supporting
health research in the Comprehensive Spending Review. Public funding
for health research will rise to £1.7 billion, with ring-fenced
funding for the National Institute for Health Research of £1 billion
by 2010-11. This level of funding will support an unprecedented
growth in the number of NHS clinical trials in England.
Sally Davies, Director General of Research and Development,
Department of Health said:
"Our intention is to make the NHS a hive of research activity that
attracts the best researchers in the world. We are fostering a
culture that pioneers new treatments in the full range of NHS
settings, and working to improve the health outcomes for all NHS
patients.
"We know that clinical trials have a positive effect throughout the
NHS as new findings and best practice are developed and shared. I
would like to encourage people who are interested to visit the NHS
Choices for further information about getting involved in health
research."
Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Chief Executive of the Medical Research
Council said:
"In less than two years since it was established, the National
Institute for Health Research has made incredible progress in
transforming the research environment in the NHS. The MRC is
delighted to be working in ever closer collaboration with NIHR to
deliver enhanced opportunities for clinicians and biomedical
scientists.
"The NIHR has channelled ever greater investment into expanding
programmes of research, and provided funding to support innovative
technologies and improved facilities and equipment in the NHS. It is
streamlining research processes to ensure this country remains the
place of choice for the pharmaceutical, bioscience and healthcare
industries R&D. The scale of change and the overall achievement is
to be welcomed and lauded wholeheartedly."
Notes:
1. The National Institute for Health Research provides the framework
through which the research staff and research infrastructure of the
NHS in England is positioned, maintained and managed as a national
research facility. The NIHR provides the NHS with the support and
infrastructure it needs to conduct first-class research funded by the
Government and its partners alongside high-quality patient care,
education and training. Its aim is to support outstanding
individuals (both leaders and collaborators), working in world class
facilities (both NHS and university), conducting leading edge
research focused on the needs of patients.
2. The NIHR research networks include the Primary /care /research
Network, Comprehensive Research Network and six topic specific
clinical research networks for cancer, dementia and neurodegenerative
diseases, diabetes, medicines for children, mental health and stroke.
3. Biomedical Research Centres will drive innovation in the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of ill-health and translate these
advances into NHS practice.

Better Treatments For Sick Children
The new NIHR Medicines for Children Research Network (MCRN), led by a
partnership between the University of Liverpool and Alder Hey
hospital (the Royal Liverpool Children's NHS Trust), aims to
facilitate the development of safe, effective medicines specifically
for children meaning that, for the first time ever, children can
benefit from treatments designed, developed and licensed especially
for them.
Many of the medicines doctors use to treat sick children are actually
designed for and tested in adults. Clinicians use their skill and
judgement in deciding how to prescribe them for children, but they
desperately need a sounder evidence base for their prescriptions.
A wide range of health professionals are involved in the Network
together with representatives from the pharmaceutical industry and
most importantly, children and their parents.
Georgia Semple, 10, who used to have leukemia, explains how she hopes
the Medicines for Children Research Network will improve treatments
for others like herself.
"Having leukaemia was horrid for me and my family. I felt sick and
tired all the time. The medicines were horrible. They made my hair
fall
out, which made me cry and cry. And I had to go to hospital every
time I had even a tiny infection. I was on medicine for two and a
half years and finished in May. I feel OK now but I still get tired.
The MCRN asked my Daddy if I would be interested in being on its
children's group Stand Up, Speak Up! I said 'Yes' because I want
people to find better medicines than the ones I had.
We meet up about once every two months. There are about 14 children
in the group split into two age groups - 9 to 12 and 13 to 18.
We have been learning about how medicines work, where they come from
and how trials are done. I know what a randomised controlled trial
(RCT) is and I am in one for leukaemia treatment.
We've helped make information sheets better for children and designed
logos, which were actually used. I also designed the smiley faces
logo for Stand Up, Speak Up!
Our group is working with researchers to help design better trials
aimed at children and young people.
I missed that session but we choose ones that should make a real
difference to how children are treated."
Georgia Semple is on the young persons' advisory panel set up to work
with MCRN leaders and to encourage young people receiving medical
care to take part in research. She has two sisters, a kitten, a dog
and a Mummy and Daddy.
