Patient care across the life-course

Our strategic initiatives reflect the future we want to create. Within each initiative, we have a range of projects seeking partnership, investment and support – these could be your opportunity to make a significant impact for the next generations.

Projects seeking partnership

Innovative Treatment for Early Childhood Stuttering

We’re developing a ground-breaking treatment focusing on cognitive suitability and early intervention for early childhood stuttering that can be initiated at the onset, offering a proactive approach to speech therapy. The project aims to take this ground-breaking approach global, creating a cost-free treatment website for childhood stuttering, making effective therapy accessible to every child and family in need worldwide.

Breathlessness Intervention: A New Airflow Device to Ease Chronic Symptoms

This innovative and cross sector collaboration aims to prototype the optimal airflow device (similar to a handheld fan) design to provide relief for chronic breathlessness. Bringing together medical researchers, material designers and innovation experts, it will create an affordable handheld fan that would allow people with chronic breathlessness to be more independent and have improved quality of life.

Enhancing Medication Management for Dementia Care

We’re crafting a toolkit for clinicians and carers to improve medication management for those with dementia, promoting informed decisions and better health outcomes. This toolkit will enable clinicians and carers to navigate complex treatment plans, making informed decisions that improve health outcomes and quality of life for those affected by dementia.

Philanthropy and partnerships are critical to our mission. The community we build around us is as important as the work itself, and we hope you’ll be part of it. Contact the team to find out more:
