A physiotherapy service based on initial telephone assessment has the ability to provide faster access to the service and cut waiting times, a study involving University of Bristol researchers published today on bmj.com suggests.
Learning how cells function and how they interact with one another is pivotal to scientists being able to work out what goes wrong in illness, ageing, infection and disease – furthering our understanding of all these processes is dependent upon research in cell biology. A new £715K laboratory, opened at the University of Bristol, will equip scientists with the facilities they need to carry out the latest techniques in cell biology research.
Research which sheds new light on the microscopic chemical physics driving one of the most important reaction sequences in atmospheric chemistry is published in Science today by Dr David Glowacki from the University of Bristol's School of Chemistry, in collaboration with an international team including experimentalists and theoreticians based in Leeds, Cambridge, and Chicago.
An innovative project to support children growing up in care learn to drive, and to assess the impact it has on their lives, has been launched in Bristol.
A Bristol professor will give a unique insight into the field of chronic pain at a free public lecture on 1 April.
The University of Bristol has negotiated a new strategic partnership with French nuclear energy company, EDF, with the aim of establishing a base for nuclear energy research and teaching in the South West.
The cause of rapid sea level rise in the past has been found by scientists at the University of Bristol using climate and ice sheet models. The process, named ‘saddle-collapse’, was found to be the cause of two rapid sea level rise events: the Meltwater pulse 1a (MWP1a) around 14,600 years ago and the ‘8,200 year’ event.
Why did the builders of Stonehenge choose to transport giant bluestones hundreds of kilometres from Wales to Salisbury Plain? Dr George Nash from Bristol's Department of Archaeology and Anthropology is involved in research which is taking a novel approach to solving the mystery.
Early findings from a University of Bristol study that investigated school, college and club connections in the boardrooms of the UK’s top companies has found that social connections – through membership of elite private members’ clubs and golf clubs – may still play a role in boardroom appointments.
Mathematical models developed by scientists at the University of Bristol are providing new insights into why the placebo effect exists and when it should occur. Their research is published today in the journal of Evolution and Human Behaviour.
