The leaders of the NIHR ARC East Midlands demonstrated how UK researchers are working nationally and globally to tackle major health challenges and improve outcomes in the UK and internationally when they took centre stage in Ghana in April, leading a high-level, international dissemination event for the CREATE programme.

An overview of a major research initiative led by academics from the University of Leicester, in collaboration with researchers in Ghana, to improve diabetes and cardiovascular care in sub-Saharan Africa will be shared at a dissemination event next month.  

In March, Leicester Diabetes Centre (LDC)’s Professor Samuel Seidu visited Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana for a key project meeting for the CREATE study.
