Neurosciences research at Bradford brings together stroke and wider neurology research under a single, integrated theme focused on disorders of the brain and nervous system. Stroke research is well established, with multidisciplinary clinical studies spanning acute care, rehabilitation and long-term community outcomes, aiming to improve evidence-based practice and patient recovery.
The stroke team at Bradford are dedicated to giving the best possible care to patients. Research is pivotal for providing evidence to change practice and drive care forward. Patients have the right to be involved with changing practice. All the team, Doctors, Nurses, physio, OT and the outreach team are actively involved in trials.
Bradford has an excellent record of participating in stroke research and continues to have a strong portfolio of stroke trials investigating different aspects of stroke care. The trials cover the patient pathway from acute admission, hospital stay, rehabilitation and into the community.
Stroke Research is being positively promoted to the patient and public.
“Stroke care is committed to evidence based practice. We aim to give every stroke patient the opportunity to be involved in a research trial.”
Alongside this, neurology research is supported through clinical services and translational activity covering conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. The research team at Bradford focuses on understanding, diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of neurological conditions.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research explores disease mechanisms, neuroinflammation, progression, genetic testing, and potential new therapies, alongside strategies to improve rehabilitation, symptom management, and quality of life.
