We’re delighted to launch a new blog for the Hummingbird Project, where we’ll feature longer and more in-depth articles than the news stories we publish here. The team involved in the project, including psychologists from three universities, will explain more about the research and science behind the six-week course, which has helped nearly 7,500 children at schools in the North West learn to take care of their mental health.

The initial post is by the Hummingbird Project Development Manager, Catherine North, who tells us where the idea for the project first came from, and how partnership working and collaboration helped to make it a reality. You can read the article below.

“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.”
