SUMMARY:The UK National Eye Health and Hearing Study (UKNEHS)
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday 22nd October at the Swavesey Community Pavilion\, (6-8pm) to hear first hand about this exciting study which has gone live this Autumn.\nProfessor Rupert Bourne\, who is leading this national study\, will discuss the study in more detail and you will have the opportunity to ask questions to the team and find out more about preventable sight and hearing loss. \nWhat is this study?\nIt is an NHS study\, approved by the Research Ethics Committee and is the first community-based study of its kind in the UK.\nThe pilot study is taking place across 15 randomly chosen community sites for people aged 50+ in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough from September this year and results from this pilot will be used to inform a multi-million pound national study.\nWe will be recruiting 50 people from Swavesey and 50 people from Over\, who will be randomly chosen by their household’s address.\nWhy are we doing this study?\nWe need high quality\, up-to-date data on hearing loss and eye health\, so that we can understand how to improve and deliver services more efficiently and effectively and also plan future services and improve outcomes for the UK population. In population studies like this\, it is just as important to understand how many people have normal vision and hearing\, so everyone who is invited is encouraged to take part even if they believe they have no concerns. Other studies\, such as the Australian National Eye Health study found that 1 in 5 people examined were unaware of a potential vision-impairing eye health issue. \nWe are supported by Camsight\, Healthwatch Cambridge and Healthwatch Peterborough and are generously funded by RNIB\, RNID\, Guide Dogs\, Fight for Sight\, Glaucoma UK\, Deafblind UK\, Macular Society and Rebuilding Lives After Sight Loss.
