Research Projects
Our members get involved in a wide range of research projects to improve the prevention of aortic dissection, diagnosis, surgical outcomes and recovery.
Over the past few years we have provided input to over 20 research projects with 14 different research institutions. Our involvement can range from requests for letters of support and patient input for grant applications, through providing patient representatives for project steering committees, or undertaking Patient & Public Involvement work as part of a study, to full collaboration as part of the research team and co-authorship of the resulting papers. Some of the research projects we are involved in are featured below.
