2nd February 2010
North Bristol NHS Trust and University Hospitals Bristol NHS
Foundation Trust are delighted to announce the appointment of a new
Director of Research.
Professor David Wynick will advance and integrate the research
agendas of the two trusts with those of the University of Bristol
and University of the West of England. He takes up the new
appointment on 1 March 2010.
David, who is a clinical academic, has worked for the University
of Bristol and University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust
since 1995, will take on this new post alongside his existing role
as Professor of Molecular Medicine at the University of
Bristol. He will continue with his own research - focused on
better understanding the mechanisms that underlie the development
and maintenance of chronic pain states, predominantly in patients
with diabetes - and to run his specialist endocrine and diabetes
outpatient clinics at UH Bristol.
David said: By working strategically together we will be able to
combine and maximise the research strengths across the two trusts
and the universities with a co-ordinated vision across Bristol for
excellence in clinical and health services research.
