Welcome to the first BHP Newsletter

Annual review of activity launches today

We're looking back while moving forwards as we publish our annual review of activity 2023-24. It's packed with case studies covering our four research themes (early detection and diagnosis, experimental medicine, clinical trials and health inequalities), updates on our flagship projects, and a look ahead at our commitments for the coming year. 


Reducing bureaucracy in clinical trials

It’s now been a year since we launched our flagship clinical trials programme and with your support and input, we’ve been busy laying a strong foundation for how we deliver trials - helping us to reduce the administrative burden on researchers and getting innovations to patients faster. Our latest blog reveals more about our progress to date - and gives you the chance to register for our Town Hall webinar on Mon 9 Dec, where you can hear about the programme, ask questions and contribute ideas.
