Join a clinical study that aims to move research – and people – forward

• Are you 18 years or older living with obesity or overweight?
• Do you also have Type 2 diabetes?

If the above relates to you, you may be able to join the KaiNETIC-2 Study. The KaiNETIC-2 Study is looking to learn more about different doses of an investigational study drug designed to help people with Type 2 diabetes lose weight, lower blood sugar levels, and improve their health.

Different doses of the study drug will be compared with a placebo. Both are together referred to as ‘study medication’. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no active medicine. Participants will have a higher chance of receiving the study drug. The study medication will be given as a subcutaneous injection, that is under the skin. You will take it once every week. The study will last up to 84 weeks. There will be no cost for the study medication, or study-related health assessments and medical tests.

An Ethics Committee (EC) has reviewed this study. An EC protects the rights, safety, and wellbeing of study participants.

Getting a patient to the most suitable hospital to meet their care needs is the most important factor in an emergency situation. In this clip from a talk on 'Caring for you in an Emergency - From 999 call to the Emergency Department - what happens on your care journey?', Dave Sale - Clinical Team Manager at South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust talks about how hospitals have moved on, with different sites specialising in certain areas of care, with patients who meet criteria being taken directly to those hospitals.

- Keep your home cool by closing windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun
