📣Calling all Lab/Workshop Technicians! 🔬🥼🧪 💼We're #hiring 💼 Come and work with our multidisciplinary team to improve lives through world-class research in ageing, sarcopenia and multiple long-term conditions (#MLTC) ⏲️Closing 22 May 2025 jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl... #job #vacancy #recruitment

☕ We loved meeting the patients at Cramlington Medical Group and talking to them about #research at our #publicengagement coffee morning on 5th March, which we co-hosted with the lovely Northumbria Primary Care Research Team 🤝 @nihrnewcastlebrc.bsky.social research.ncl.ac.uk/ageresearchg...

Big thanks to @annabasu1.bsky.social for her inspirational talk to the AGE Research Group and @nihrnewcastlebrc.bsky.social on the SPACE Pilot project, a collaboration with @waystowellness.org.uk. Many parallels in the challenges faced by children with medical complexity and older adults with #MLTC

@newcastleage.bsky.social team at @gerisoc.bsky.social conference - showcasing our work on #sarcopenia intervention selection. Help shape our research on what a good sarcopenia intervention looks like! forms.office.com/e/HN1F1tGGhc

We had a wonderful time welcoming the public, local partners and collaborators, research participants and our researchers to our Celebration of Research Excellence: Community Event 2025 on Wednesday. It is great to see so many people interested in health research and our work! 📷 ⬇️

📻 Podcast! 📻 The Lancet Healthy Longevity in conversation with our very own @oldertrialsprof.bsky.social discussing the findings from our MET-PREVENT #clinicaltrial and the importance of designing clinical trials for #olderpeople @nihrnewcastlebrc.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/multimedia/p...

MET-PREVENT #sarcopenia trial results published in Lancet Healthy Longevity ➡️ Older people are underrepresented in clinical trials ➡️ Metformin might not be the ageing “wonder drug” that some researchers hoped ➡️ We can design better trials for this under-served group of patients tinyurl.com/3tdca7ea
