The research themes that we focus on are:
All our research is informed by discussions with patients and carers. If you would like to be part of this we would like to hear from you.
We work in close partnership with the University of Leicester and with research teams from many other Universities and NHS organisations, locally and nationally.
We welcome being part of new projects that will improve the care of patients and families and the skills of staff that support them.
I feel like the circle is complete, it’s the end of this chapter and I’m so grateful to LOROS for helping to make this happen.

The support from LOROS went way beyond what I expected. It really kept me going.
