MP sees Nottingham liver research in action

NUH Together - Issue 5

NUH’s adult clinical research facility hosted a VIP visit in September, when Maggie Throup MP and Pamela Healy OBE, CEO of the British Liver Trust, came to the NIHR Nottingham Clinical Research Facility – sister unit to the paediatric facility – to fund out more about cutting-edge liver research conducted in Nottingham.

Professor Stephen Ryder, Director of the Nottingham Clinical Research Facility, hosted the VIPs on their tour, during which they were able to learn about Fibroscan to diagnose liver disease – a technique developed in Nottingham. They also visited F21 ward at the QMC, which specialises in treating patients with digestive diseases.

Maggie Throup MP is a member of the House of Commons Health Select Committee, has served as a junior minister for vaccines and public health, and represents Erewash.
