Fantastic news! Our visit to Rainbow Home last Friday was a real success. We connected with their Black LGBT community and recruited 11 participants to the IBHO study in a single session! 🌈👏🏾 We’re thrilled to be invited back for their next sessions and can’t wait to return!

Coming together on a chilly morning in #Newcastle to look back on the first 5 years of our Newcastle Centre for Rare Disease. Building our brand has helped us seize key grants opportunities like @RDRUKHub and the @lifearc1 Centres for RD. Where should we be placing emphasis next?
