📢 Generation study participant story 📢 This story highlights the importance of the Generation study, and how lifechanging early detection of genetic conditions can be. We're proud to offer this study to our families! Ask your midwife for more info. 💚💛🩷 Full story below:

We are always looking for learning opportunities at Bradford. Today we welcomed Hannah, Clinical Trials Assistant from Rotherham Hospital, on a 'go see' day. She spent the morning with CTA Ashritha, learning how the role of the CTA can be key to a team's success.

Welcome Ashritha, the newest member of our team. Working as a Clinical Trial Assistant, Ashritha has such an important role. New processes created and in place, spreadsheets instead of paper! You have only been with us for 2 months, but you are already a vital part of our team.

Taking a day to reflect and celebrate the achievements in clinical research over the past 10 years. Our Senior Research Midwives/Matron @Researchmw86 and @JennySyson left feeling inspired about the future opportunities research can provide for our Y&H population

Here is our fabulous research midwife Jade. Having a dual role, Jade was the birthing midwife for this gorgeous bundle, then came back the next day to recruit to the @divostudy. 91 participants recruited in the first month of opening, fantastic teamwork with @child_res.

A day of celebration. Our fab research midwife Laura had a special birthday. We opened @divostudy and recruited our first participants. Then finished the day finding out that Bradford was the top research hospital of 23/24! Thank you to all our families 🎉
