A new national research institute has been launched in Hull to confront the "overlooked" health crisis of chronic wounds, a condition that silently costs the NHS billions annually and inflicts a "devastating impact" on thousands of patients' lives.
The University of Hull’s £48 million Wound Innovation Institute is poised to spearhead life-changing research into chronic wounds, which affect approximately 2.2 million people across the UK, leading to persistent pain and reduced mobility.
