  • Colleagues currently working within integrated models of care
  • Teams considering setting up a GP Child Health Hub or neighbourhood MDT

Researchers will be welcome to come along and hear what is going on or to present their proposals, in order to:

  • Find collaborators/develop synergies
  • Receive some challenge/support

Interest is likely to fall into one of these categories:

  • Innovation based around horizontal or vertical integration eg improving the early identification of infants with cow’s milk protein allergy eg the impact of 3-way video consultations (patient, GP and specialist) 
  • Engagement with the local population of CYP/families (PPI) eg to prioritise the research agenda
  • Use and development of population data sets (via WSIC) eg to link NHS with local authority data
  • Consideration of patient recruitment from primary care for studies (via the Clinical Research Networks) eg antibody responses to routine vaccines eg improving outcomes for children with recurrent wheeze attacks
  • Professional development/teaching eg teaching professionals to appropriately identify Long Covid in children
  • Research skills support

If in between research meetings you can join our weekly lab meetings, every Friday 12:30-2:00 PM, for more support, email imperial.cc4c@nhs.net for more information.
