Annual Conference 2013

The 9th Annual Conference was hosted by the University of Birmingham Medical School and took place from 11-12th July 2013.

The theme of the Conference was “research across the seven ages of man – a seamless approach”. We highlighted research that spans all age-ranges, from screening during pregnancy to enjoying (not enduring!) old age. There was also a strong patient and public involvement theme as a key strategic aim of the NIHR is to put patients at the heart of research.

The Conference also had a Health Research Bus, a joint initiative between the Universities of Birmingham and Warwick and the NIHR Birmingham Clinical Research Facility to take research into the community.
