Information for patients

We carry out research to improve our knowledge of respiratory and allergic diseases, to understand what might be causing them and how best to treat them. The answers that we get from our research can help to change the way medical professionals (such as doctors, nurses, therapists, etc.) manage patients with respiratory and allergic conditions, or improve the treatments that are currently available to you, which in turn can improve your quality of life.

Before any research is carried out, the researcher must create a research question to be answered (called a hypothesis) and put together a plan to answer it (called a protocol). Research is carried out by different people such as doctors, nurses, scientists or healthcare researchers.  The NIHR South Manchester Clinical Research Facility provides the space, staff and equipment for researchers to carry out high quality clinical trials into respiratory and allergic conditions.

 

Different types of research include:
