NHS Grampian Charity is thrilled to announce the launch of its Lasting Impact programme – a seven-figure fund to develop health improvements in Grampian.

The programme will bring together third sector organisations, academics and researchers to develop collaborative research across a range of health and social care topics, with the aim of creating real, tangible improvements in health outcomes for patients in Grampian.

We are particularly keen to support projects which focus on improving health outcomes for people in Grampian who are experiencing health inequalities.

Lasting Impact Symposium

The programme was officially launched at the charity’s Lasting Impact Symposium on Tuesday 21st January 2025 at ONE BioHub on the Foresterhill Health Campus.

We were joined on the day by a number of speakers who shared insights into some of the health challenges facing people in Grampian, and there was be the opportunity for prospective applicants to network and share ideas.

The discussion feedback from our symposium will shared on this page in the coming days.
