What an exciting day we have had celebrating #Red4Research day #2024! Did you get a visit from our team and try one of our delicious #cupcakes? It was lovely to meet so many staff at East Kent Hospitals when we were out and about today

Delivering #Research in a busy trust such as East Kent Hospitals requires a lot of support and our East Kent NHSFT R&I team plays a vital role in getting trials and studies up and running - we would not be able to do research without them! #Red4Research

How many years of research experience do you think our team has between the 10 of us? (with our newest members being with us for less than one year!)

It was a joy to meet our lovely outpatients reception team and bring them some cakes! Days like #Red4Research are so important in raising awareness of the research that is carried out within East Kent Hospitals
