Manchester University Researcher Recognised With Award After Creating Life Saving Treatment After Brain Haemorrhage.
Dr Adrian Parry-Jones, a researcher The Univerisity of Manchester, has been awarded the award for ‘Research of the Year’ by The NR Times.
The NR Times, a magazine for the Neuro Science Industry, recognised Dr Parry-Jones’ outstanding research into improved brain haemorrage treatment which is now being rolled out across the UK and showing to improve survival rates by 10%.
When The Natalie Kate Moss Trust first approached The University of Manchester in 2012 to see if there was any work that we could support, there was little to no research being done into Haemorrhagic Stroke (brain haemorrhages), with their main focus at that time being on Ischemic Stroke.

“However, after meeting with them and hearing their desire to do something positive in memory of Natalie inspired us to put more focus on studying brain haemorrhage and as a result of this focus, increased funding from NKMT has grown YoY, so to have we been able to grow our team, capacity and resources.
The donations made by the Natalie Kate Moss Trust over the last decade, have not only allowed us at Manchester University to fund more researchers, increase our capacity, enable more collaboration, but also leverage further funding, ultimately supporting developments in our research.”
Professor Stuart Allan - The University of Manchester
Over the last 11 years, as a charity we have been beyond proud of the growth and development of the research at The University of Manchester and the huge steps that have been made to find better treatment after a brain haemorrhage and ultimately to saves lives.
Currently only 3 out 5 people will survive withing one month of having a brain haemorrhage with 3 million people a year dying from them
Unfortunately these stats haven’t changed in 40 years, a clear indicator of why this work is so vital.
But, as a charity, we are really appreciative that we can see a direct line between the funds that we donate and the results coming out of the research, all with the aim of changing these stats.
And we are especially proud of the award winning work from Dr Adrian Parry-Jones (a Consultant Vascular Neurologist at Salford Royal and researcher at the university). Truly ground-breaking, he has developed a new approach to manage brain haemorrhage patients in hospital, the ABC care bundle. When implemented at Salford Royal the ABC bundle reduced mortality at 1 month by 10%. The ABC bundle is now being tested in hospitals across the North of England with the hope that it will become standard treatment across the country for brain haemorrhage.
This amazing breakthrough, has rightly been recognised by Industry magazine NR Times in their 2023 Awards ceremony this October as ‘Research of the Year’.
In addition to these significant steps in the Research, in the last 3 years, The University of Manchester has also developed The Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre - a centre of excellence for brain research with the vision to combine discovery science and experimental medicine to rapidly translate our research into healthcare benefit. The establishment of this centre is a clear marker of the major developments at the University in Neuro research and creates a fantastic environment to develop leading talent in this industry and ultimately support further ground breaking research, such as that of Dr Adrian Parry-Jones, and save more lives from brain Haemorrhage.
As we can see, your donations are truly making a difference and helping to save lives. By donating a little as the price of a coffee today (£3), you can directly support this research and stop 3 million lives being lost every year as a result of a brain haemorrhage.
