Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health problem. Improving outcomes for patients with CKD requires the translation of research into clinical care. However, scientific research that underpins the management of CKD has rapidly increased, and traditional methods to summarise and inform clinical care are out of date. This project will develop, evaluate, and implement a new approach, known as ‘living-evidence’, that translates research evidence in real-time into the management of patients.

Summary
Worldwide respiratory disease in children has the highest health care burden on society. Children aged <5 years in particular, are increasing in hospital admissions and to intensive care where the cost is elevated. New ways of oxygen therapy have been studied and shown that we can reduce ICU admission if a therapy known as Nasal High Flow (NHF) therapy is applied earlier in the progression of the disease. Further research is needed in NHF therapy and to improve upon our patient outcomes.
