Summary
Lung cancer is associated with complex symptoms which frequently lead to inactivity and functional decline. There are well-established evidence-based recommendations regarding the amount of physical activity that people with cancer should engage in. However the current models of care in lung cancer do not formally utilise these recommendations. This project aims to bridge the evidence-practice gap with the ultimate aim of improving outcomes for people with lung cancer.

Summary
Neuromuscular disorders can damage muscle, motor neurone or nerves, causing progressive weakness, disability and poor quality of life. Three themes of research will improve treatment of the most common nerve disorder, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. The research will use state-of-the-art measurement tools, ensuring research translation through multicentre trials and best-practice guidelines. The goal is to reduce the burden on patient and society and promote excellence and innovation for nerve and ....Neuromuscular disorders can damage muscle, motor neurone or nerves, causing progressive weakness, disability and poor quality of life.
