Research Conference 2025
We are thrilled to invite you to the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW) Research Conference 2025.
The conference will include a keynote speech by Ben Hetherington, who was treated at Walkergate Park after his bike collided with a car during a road bike race. Amazingly, he went on to be the first ever Paracycling National Champion at Thruxton Motor Circuit 3 years after his intensive rehabilitation, and he now has ambitions to compete in the Paralympics.
The rest of the day is packed full of interesting research being led by and conducted within CNTW, with lunch provided for attendees. A full agenda and speaker bios for all of our exciting talks will be available soon.
There will be an opportunity to engage with representatives from different organisations at stalls hosted at the event. These include:
- Florence – a platform to develop and host electronic Trial Master and Investigator Site Files for research teams
- XRT – who use Extended Reality technology combined with traditional Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tailor treatment to individual patients
- CNTW’s Shine Fund – which raises money to support service users with ‘little extras’ like therapeutic activities or items of comfort
There will be poster presentations to view during break sessions and lunch, which give attendees an overview of all of the incredible work that goes on within CNTW and our partner organisations. Poster prizes will be awarded at the end of the conference by CNTW’s Executive Medical Director and Deputy Chief Executive, Dr Rajesh Nadkarni.
There will also be representatives from CNTW’s Research & Development, Research Delivery, and Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals Teams available at stalls to provide support and advice on any potential ideas for research projects.
