Research & Study

ProGress Study

ProGress Cancer screening and prevention survey, aims  to hopefully allow cancers to be diagnosed earlier, particularly in those people who are at higher risk of developing cancer because of changes in their genes. In doing so results from the study hopes to be able to treat people more quickly and successfully. A survey Monkey has been conducted to explore the public views on this subject and would be very grateful if you could spare the time to complete it. This survey is aimed at people over the age of 18 years old who are registered with a GP and not because of any health issues that you may have.  Make a difference and participate in research, you can access the survey via the poster: ProGress Study

HOPE-e Study

HOPE-e  (Hand Osteoarthritis: investigating Pain Effects in a randomised placebo-controlled feasibility study of estrogen-containing therapy) Study are inviting women aged 40-65, who are at least 1 year after menopause, and are experiencing hand pain due to osteoarthritis (OA), to take part in this study. The purpose of this study is to test whether taking a tablet of an estrogen-containing therapy once daily for 6 months improves hand pain in women with hand OA, when compared with taking a placebo tablet (inactive medication). This study aims to find out whether it is acceptable to women with painful hand OA to take this type of treatment, and also what the best way of collecting some of the information is, to help us plan a full size trial. The study may also give us some idea of whether this treatment might work or not. If you are interested in taking part in this study or would like more information, please find on the poster:  HOPE Poster – V1 0
