Profile

Ratna is currently involved in two projects (1) the NIHR SPCR funded study called REMO CARE which is exploring the potential opportunities and challenges in REMOte CARE for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; (2) and a NIHR CTU support funded study called INCLUDED (Promoting INCLUsivity through improving the practice anD utility of Ethnicity Data collection in trials). The aim of the INCLUDED study is to provide initial guidance for researchers to improve the collection of ethnicity data in UK clinical trials.

Ratna has recently completed managing a NIHR-HTA funded multi-centre randomised controlled trial called TANDEM. TANDEM is looking at whether a cognitive behavioural approach intervention delivered by trained respiratory health care professionals and linked with pulmonary rehabilitation improves anxiety and/or depression in moderate to severe patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
