This hugely topical March 2019 book, by a team of high-profile activists and expert writers, is the first critically to assess the legislation, using evidence PB £24.99 978-1-4473-4680-7 from across the field, and to offer strategies for improvement HB £75.00 978-1-4473-4679-1 in policy and practice.

  • Supporting the Fight Against Covid-19
    Supporting the fight against Covid-19 Russell Group universities are playing their part in the United Kingdom’s fightback against Covid-19. Members are carrying out life-saving research and giving practical support to NHS staff and local communities. At Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Liverpool, UCL, Imperial, Nottingham, Oxford and Sheffield, our members are part of the £20m Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium analysing the virus. Glasgow is leading one of three new national testing centres to deliver thousands of tests a day. Fighting the virus • Researchers at Oxford, Imperial, Bristol and Southampton are already carrying out vaccine trials. • Laboratories at several universities have been allocated to Covid-19 research: Manchester’s virology and Leeds’s data science labs, Edinburgh’s Centre for Virus Research and STOPCOVID drug trial programme which uses fibre optics to test lung tissue, and Liverpool’s Outbreak Lab. • Engineers from UCL have worked with the NHS and Mercedes-AMG High Performance Power- trains to develop a breathing aid that can help keep Covid-19 patients out of intensive care. • King’s College London’s Covid-19 Symptom Tracker App has been used by 2.3 million people. • Experts from Queen Mary University of London are central to the leadership and development of London’s new Nightingale Hospital. • Durham researchers are working with dogs that can accurately detect people carrying the virus. Practical support • Medical students are bolstering hardworking NHS staff by volunteering and extending medical and nursing placements, and final year students are graduating early to join the NHS workforce. • Several universities including Birmingham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Queen’s University Belfast, York and Warwick have brought forward qualifications and trained new staff in their buildings for the NHS frontline.

  • How Universities Are Helping Fight Covid-19
    How universities are helping fight Covid-19 # WeAreTogether Universities UK Introduction The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted public life in ways never before seen in peacetime. The implications of the outbreak on the UK’s university sector stretch far beyond the short-term impact on teaching and research and the sector faces challenges that could take many months to overcome. Despite this, almost immediately, universities and their communities began responding to the crisis. Numerous examples from across the country show that universities are doing all they can to contribute to the national effort against the outbreak. Together, the university sector is carrying out vital medical research into a possible vaccine; providing much-needed equipment, facilities and extra staff to frontline NHS services; and is exploring ways to support the people’s health and wellbeing through this difficult time. This collection of case studies forms part of the #WeAreTogether campaign and shows how everyone in our society benefits from universities. Through their research, teaching and role in local communities, universities make an untold contribution to the nation’s prosperity, and as 2020 has shown, are prepared to redouble their efforts during a crisis. Themes 1. Research, vaccines, and testing 2. Resources and people power 3. Helping people get through the crisis 4. Supporting students 2 Universities UK 1. Research, vaccines, and testing 3 Universities UK Many universities are involved in research to understand more about the virus: Mathematical modelling work Together with drug development from Imperial College London company Synairgen, researchers at is informing both the UK and US the University of Southampton are government’s response to the trialling an inhaled drug that could pandemic and providing vital prevent Covid-19 worsening in those insights into the nature of the most at risk.
