TWO UNIVERSITIES and two State health organisations have formed a cross-Border partnership on research into diabetes.
The Atlantic-Alliance for Co-operation on Research into Diabetes grouping involves NUI Galway, the University of Ulster, the Health Service Executive West and its Northern counterpart, the Western Health and Social Care Trust.
Diabetes is to be targeted because of its “increasing prevalence and the associated healthcare costs”, the grouping says.
Participants will include researchers and clinicians with their patients, and allied health professionals, including dieticians, podiatrists, diabetes specialist nurses, information technology specialists and psychologists.
