This team carry out extensive
work looking at disorders of
the blood and bone marrow – and they were
nominated for NUHonours by Dr Christopher
Fox, Consultant Haematologist.
“Through dedicated and high quality teamworking
and ‘going the extra mile’, this team
consistently and significantly contributes to
improved patient outcomes,” said Dr Fox.
The work of the DREEAM Team is
all about finding ways to improve
services in the Trust’s Emergency Department.
“The DREEAM team work really hard in
recruiting patients to research trials,” their
nomination for NUHonours read. “Their trials
are successful and often Nottingham is one of
the top recruiting sites in multi-site studies.”
The HEAR-IT project is run by
a team of staff from NUH’s
Audiology service at Ropewalk House – and
has led to a series of ten videos being produced
aimed at first-time hearing aid users.
Vicenta Rose, Unit Operations Director for
Nottingham’s Hearing Biomedical Research
Unit said: “Benefits have included improved
confidence and reassurance in using hearing
aids and communicating.”
