Research Inclusion in Action: CHERI & The UPTURN Study

Research Inclusion in Action: CHERI & The UPTURN Study

Posted: Wednesday, 16 September 2026


How can we ensure health research truly represents everyone in our society?

Join us this week in The Research Room as we sit down with Dr Suman Prinjha, Lorraine Lawrence, and Tahsin Tabassum to explore the fantastic work of the Centre for Health Research Inclusion (CHERI) at the University of York.

We go behind the scenes to see how CHERI is working hard to improve representation of underserved groups in health research and dive into their work on the NIHR-funded UPTURN study, which is co-designing tailored support to improve pulmonary rehabilitation uptake for people living with COPD. Whether you are a researcher, healthcare professional, or simply curious about how building community trust leads to better healthcare for all, this conversation is packed with practical insights you won't want to miss.

Plus, stick around to find out our guests' secret skills and which classic Goonies line they live by!
