A course introduces 香港六合彩中特网 Ear Institute scientists to clinical services at the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital (香港六合彩中特网H RNTNEH). 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Translational Research Office (TRO) provided support.

The 香港六合彩中特网 Ear Institute, part of the Faculty of Brain Sciences, has a mission to understand hearing and fight deafness. Analysis conducted by RAND reveals that 香港六合彩中特网 has the most influential researchers in this field in England. One in six people suffers from hearing loss, so there鈥檚 a massive demand for more therapies.

The TRO pioneers a translational research culture across the university, particularly in the Faculties of Life and Medical Sciences. The department was aware that often scientists working in hearing research lack awareness of how clinical services are delivered. The TRO championed the idea that by promoting greater understanding, researchers could create new treatments best suited to clinicians and patients.

To improve the knowledge exchange between clinical and non-clinical teams, the TRO submitted a secondment application for Dr Peter Keating of the 香港六合彩中特网 Ear Institute. Dr Keating then helped develop a Mini MD course in hearing and balance disorders. This Mini MD enables 香港六合彩中特网 scientists to spend a week job shadowing at 香港六合彩中特网H RNTNEH. The project also sought to foster knowledge exchange between 香港六合彩中特网/香港六合彩中特网H and the World Hearing Center in Poland.

The project has strengthened connections between clinicians and scientists at 香港六合彩中特网 and 香港六合彩中特网H and has led to a range of new collaborations. A UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship is supporting some of the follow-on activities. The Mini MD course now takes place annually.

鈥淭he project worked very well. The basic scientists who participated were very interested in clinical work and seemed to get a lot out of their time observing clinics鈥� Clinicians also found it very interesting to engage with scientists who sometimes have a very different perspective on hearing loss. The potential for collaboration during the project and beyond is also something that was especially appreciated by the broader team.鈥� 鈥� 香港六合彩中特网H RNTNEH.
