MRC Fellowship awarded
Dr Bob Phillips, currently the Candlelighter's Clinical Research Fellow has recently been awarded a Medical Research Council Research Training Fellowship to undertake a project to develop a method of identifying children at low risk of harm when they present with febrile neutropenia, a complication of treatment for cancer.
Collaborators in Leeds, London, Switzerland and Germany have already agreed to take part, and it is hoped this will become a truly global study to improve patient care.

New project: Colour vision testing
Diabetes is the commonest cause of blindness in people of working age, but research shows that if retinopathy is identified early, through screening, and treated appropriately, blindness can be prevented in the vast majority of those at risk. New research commissioned by the NIHR HTA programme will investigate colour vision testing, which can be used to help identify patients at risk of diabetic retinopathy.
