Whether you've got [ten minutes](https://blog.thisinstitute.cam.ac.uk/perspectives-on-healthcare-improvement#ten-minutes), [twenty minutes](https://blog.thisinstitute.cam.ac.uk/perspectives-on-healthcare-improvement#twenty-minutes), or [an hour](https://blog.thisinstitute.cam.ac.uk/perspectives-on-healthcare-improvement#one-hour) to spare, there's a fantastic range of content to explore.

### Got ten minutes?

In this video, Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu and Dr Lisa Hinton discuss the service that Elizabeth pioneered in the 1970s to support families affected by sickle cell and thalassaemia.

### Got an hour?

Frameworks and models to help make research more inclusive now abound, but how can researchers make best use of these for better research? In this session featuring Tom Shakespeare, Graham Pullin, Stella O'Brien, and Doreen Tembo, we explore the issue.
