ABOUT US

Background

​

The MSG is made up of a family of sleep experts from multiple Midlands universities (including the Universities of Birmingham, Aston, Loughborough, Nottingham Trent, Warwick) and NHS institutions within the Midlands (UHB, BMHT, SWBH, UHL).

​

The group was formed in 2017, and is inclusive of any academic/clinical staff who have an interest in promoting and conducting sleep research and/or clinical sleep services in the Midlands area.

​

Remit

​

To set up interest groups in these various areas of sleep and to bring them all together under the main sleep group to encourage cross-disciplinary research, help study recruitment and to broaden our minds to more collaborative and multidisciplinary approaches to understanding sleep. To achieve this, the group will promote:

​

  1. Sleep-related research collaborations between Midlands NHS Hospitals, Universities, Primary Care and related healthcare service facilities.

  2. Interest in cross-disciplinary work on sleep behaviour, sleep disorders and understanding of sleep both biologically and medically.

  3. Supporting the preparation of grant and funding applications in the field of sleep-related research.

  4. Acting as a focus for educating the public, media, health professionals and academics about the importance of sleep research and sleep services.

  5. Public engagement in the field of sleep, including sleep-related research.
