Our supporters from across the region took to the streets of Manchester yesterday to complete one of the UK’s most popular 10k Runs.
The Great Manchester Run attracted 35,000 participants supporting many charities and despite a few showers of rain, spirits were high.
Thank you to all our runners for your fantastic efforts, both training and fundraising.
If you fancy the next challenge of a half marathon, we have places for the Great North Run in South Shields on Sunday 11th September.
“Infections of the central nervous system need urgent and appropriate treatment. Most laboratory methods can take from 24 to 48 hours for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and three to seven days for diagnosis of viral meningitis or encephalitis. The new equipment will mean we can get results of these tests in around an hour. We’ll be able to inform the clinicians of a positive result, allowing targeted therapy and reassurance to the patients and families. Just as important is the reporting of negative results, which may enable treatment withdrawal and possibly a shorter hospital stay.”
