Children and Young People

Health & Social Care Research Across North East & North Cumbria.

Children, classified between birth and 14 years of age, and young people, aged 15 to 25 have their own individual needs and therefore need studies designed with their social, emotional and physical needs in mind. This specialty therapy area has cross cutting themes across genomics and rare diseases, mental health, ophthalmology, primary care and reproductive health.
