Brunel University research grant

Posted by Adrian Seal on Jan 6, 09 04:41 PM in Health

BRUNEL University has been awarded a share of a million pound grant to lead research on a social taboo associated with ageing.

The Brunel Insitute for Ageing Studies (BIAS), will lead the three year project aiming at tackling ageing continence, one of the least socially accepted signs of ageing.

The project will ask how NHS treatments can be improved, how toilet facilities can be made more accessible, and how new technology can make continence problems easier and less stressful to manage.

The university was recently internationally recognised for the quality of its research, and joins together for this project with fellow universities, small companies and charities.

We'd like to hear from you.
