Who is conducting the research and where will it take place

The BACHb trial is managed by Imperial College London and its Chief Investigator is Dr Padmanabhan Ramnarayan. It is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and sponsored by Imperial College London. The trial will recruit participants at 50 NHS hospitals throughout the UK.

The research team assembled to design and oversee the research includes doctors and clinicians, academics, statisticians, administrative staff, and members of the public. Members of the research team have recent experience of successfully completing a national clinical trial of HFNC in children’s intensive care units and considerable experience of conducting clinical trials in other groups of sick children. Two parent representatives from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) bronchiolitis guideline committee have also joined our research team to help us develop and oversee the study.
