Supporting research with the potential to help children and animals

We’re proud to be collaborating with children’s charity Action Medical Research to help support two ongoing child-focused medical research studies. Both studies have the potential to benefit animals as well as children and to demonstrate the value of One Medicine, sharing learning between the worlds of human and veterinary medicine.

Humanimal Trust has contributed an initial £5,000 to each study, with the potential for further funding in subsequent years.

 

Study 1: Preventing infections and reducing the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections in critically ill children

The first study focuses on Humanimal Trust’s core aim of finding new ways to improve infection control and antibiotic resistance.
