About Research at NICHS

Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke supports and promotes research carried out in Northern Ireland into the areas of chest disease, heart disease and stroke illness.

Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke's ability to support local research is entirely dependent on its success at fundraising, including legacies. Such gifts are essential to enable us to find out more about what causes chest and heart disease and stroke illness, and how to prevent and treat these devastating illnesses which affect thousands of people in Northern Ireland every year.

The results of research provide doctors, nurses and other health professionals with the evidence needed to help convince policy makers to develop improved clinical services and care for local patients.
