The General Paediatric Incubator

This NIHR-supported Incubator, led by Dr Katrina Cathie and Dr Lee Hudson, aims to address key issues and increase capacity for research in general and community paediatrics. It focusses on health from newborn to late adolescence. We have brought together a range of key stakeholders across multidisciplinary teams, who share an ambition to improve and increase research in general and community child health. These are areas which are underfunded and under resourced currently. The stakeholders include representatives from a broad range of professional groups. This includes Children and Young People (CYP) and parent/carer groups, expertise across the age range, and key networks including General and Adolescent Paediatric Research Collaborative in the United Kingdom and Ireland (GAPRUKI) and British Association for Community Child Health. Overall, this incubator aims to increase capacity and delivery of general and community child health research.
