Research

This section contains links to research programmes into TBPI’s that we have been made aware of and that may be looking for volunteers to participate in.

Survey for future results into TBPI – The results!  We have arrived at the top ten areas for future research into TBPI. The top ten and the pathway to them are represented here.

Survey for future research into TBPI.  This survey will be ‘live’ until May or June ’24 and is part 2 of the JLA research (see below) in which you are asked to select your top 10 most important areas of research that should be undertaken into TBPI. It’s open to everyone who has a connection to TBPI – patients, carers, families and medical staff alike.

Caroline’s research – the results have been published.  Caroline Miller’s research (see article below) has reached it’s conclusion and has now been published.
