Clinical Research Facility
We raised ÂŁ400,000 to help open the UK's first dedicated Clinical Research Facility for children, right here at Sheffield Children's
Research
Sleep workshops
Thanks to your donations, regular sleep workshops and studies are helping exhausted families like Libby and her mum Jenny find rest, hope and support.
Asthma Research
Children with conditions like asthma, arthritis, and cancer who use steroid treatments are now benefiting from a safer, non-invasive test for adrenal suppression, thanks to research funded by The Children’s Hospital Charity.
Investigating food allergies
A 2016/17 funded research project explores whether using a skin cream from near birth can reduce the risk of eczema in infants with a family history of allergies, potentially preventing lifelong food allergies.
Analysing telescopic rods
A study funded by the Charity is investigating the causes of failure in telescopic rods used to treat Osteogenesis Imperfecta, aiming to improve the design and reduce the need for re-operations.
Newborn screening
A pioneering research project funded by the Charity led to a national newborn screening programme that now helps save lives by detecting rare but serious conditions at birth.
Narcolepsy Day
A special event funded by the Charity brought together children with narcolepsy and their families, offering expert advice, support networks and hope for greater independence.
Research into education around adolescent testicular health
Charity-funded research is helping develop vital education for young people about testicular health, aiming to prevent avoidable loss through early recognition and action.
Using thermal imaging for paediatric diagnosis and monitoring
Charity-funded research into thermal imaging could help diagnose children more quickly and safely, without radiation or invasive tests.
Research into anaesthesia safety
Thanks to your donations, research led at Sheffield Children’s uncovered a safer method for removing anaesthetic masks, helping children recover more smoothly after surgery.
