Actor and comedian Stephen Fry is encouraging more people to get involved in research to help improve treatments and care for everyone. This comes after yesterday's launch of the government's Men's Health Strategy, which outlines how we will fund and support research into areas such as mental health and prostate cancer. Could you take part in research too? Find out more at bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/… 📷 Claudio Raschella
“Signing up to Be Part of Research is one of the easiest and most powerful ways we can help shape a healthier future for ourselves and those who come after us.” – Stephen Fry.
