The Manchester NIHR Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) is hosting a discussion and networking event with the theme ‘Prevention better than cure?’.
All staff and students engaged in or supporting all P4 medicine research affiliated with the BRC, The University of Manchester and/or Health Innovation Manchester are invited to attend the event.
The BRC Themed Discussion and Networking Events are designed to provide all staff and students with:
- The opportunity to update their knowledge and skills on P4 Medicine (Predictive, Preventive, Personalised and Participatory)
- The opportunity to raise awareness of the breadth of BRC activity and thereby instil a sense of identity, collegiality and a common purpose
- An opportunity to discuss and develop understanding around risk factors influencing disease occurrence and re-occurrence.
The workshop will also cover the development of disease prevention intervention strategies and the complexities of human behaviour and motivation when it comes to making lifestyle changes and how this influences intervention implementation.
