WATCH: University team's highly commended entry in NIHR New Media Competition
12 Jul 2016
The National Institute for Health Research has highly commended Dr Emma Crosbie of the Institute of Cancer Sciences in Round 6 of its New Media Competition
The NIHR Clinician Scientist received the accolade for submitting a film about the Womb Cancer Alliance.
The competition, which aims to raise awareness of NIHR-funded research through video, invites anyone funded or supported by the NIHR, and patients and the public involved in NIHR research to submit short films which communicate their research and its impact on patients.
The film was recognised by the judges for effectively demonstrating how patients can help researchers to decide on research priorities. Entries were judged by members of the public, following public film screenings in York, Sheffield and Devon as well as a panel from the NIHR.
Emma said: “We are delighted to receive this recommendation. We believe that involving patients and the public in shaping the research agenda is critical to success. It ensures the right questions are asked and that potential solutions are acceptable to patients. We are passionate about raising public awareness about womb cancer and promoting much needed research into womb cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. We hope our work encourages funders, researchers and the public to work together to deliver research to improve the lives of women affected by womb cancer.”
