Love Research is a joint campaign between Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, designed to raise awareness of our world-leading healthcare research and encourage staff-patient conversations about participating in research.
Research is the bedrock upon which our future health depends. Only by conducting high-quality research can we discover new and better ways of preventing, diagnosing, treating and curing illness and disease.
Cambridgeshire is a thriving life science ecosystem of world-class hospitals, research institutes, laboratories, academia, and clinical teams with a shared passion for innovation and improving healthcare.
