Over the last 40 years medical advances in the care of newborn babies has resulted in more children surviving very early “preterm” birth than ever before.
When babies are born early or ‘preterm’ their tiny bodies are put under a lot of stress that can result in health problems in later life.
This research project will investigate the traits of preterm lung disease, looking into the long-term lung health of children born preterm, aiming to identify traits that could help guide better treatments in the future.
The Luminos Project has been co-designed with global experts in youth suicide support, mental health services, and research, alongside input from young people with lived experience, ensuring it meets their needs effectively.
