In 1973 a mental health practitioner would have to read 3 research papers per day to stay up to date on the latest high quality research. By 2013 that number rose to 249 papers per day.

Whose diabetes is it?


The CLAHRC South Yorkshire team worked with two family support groups from Rotherham and Barnsley and staff from Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust to understand the health service experiences of young people with type 1 diabetes. With them, the researchers have devised a proposal for an innovative new service to support young people with diabetes. The proposed service streamlines positive aspects of existing provision into one brand and information resource. The information is delivered via means that better fit young people’s lifestyles. It allows young people and families to receive reassurance from others who know “what it’s like”.
