Remedi provides funds for medical research projects in the UK which will result in new rehabilitation procedures, improved medical equipment, services and facilities which dramatically improve the quality of life for babies, children and adults and make the journey from illness or disability back to a normal life a reality.
Established as a registered Charity for nearly 35 years, the work at Remedi is ever more important as medical science enables people to live with illness and disease and therefore their ability to live a normal life, return to work and be able to function as an individual, becomes ever more crucial.
The medical research we support in rehabilitation and disability projects, often complete the "incubator" or pilot study stage and this enables researchers to then seek funding from large organisations such as the Medical Research Council, who will then fund a much larger project to complete the studies which enables new advances in care for these diseases. In the last 15 years Remedi has awarded £4 million pounds to projects.
Remedi has awarded a post doctoral clinical research fellowship in Cancer Rehabilitation to Dr Isabel White at the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King's College London in collaboration with Macmillan Cancer Support.
Dr White works clinically at leading London hospitals with a specific interest in the development of a clinical assessment system for sexual difficulties in women treated by radical pelvic radiotherapy for cervical or dendometrial cancer. The fellowship award is for three years in the first instance. However, Remedi's trustees are now seeking additional funding to help finance an additional two years (years 4 & 5) for the Fellowship.
NASDAQ OMX Group's Educational Foundation Inc, the global securities trading network's special concessionary funding organisation has awarded a block grant worth US$25,000 contributing to the Remedi Clinical Research Fellowship in Cancer Rehabilitation.
