huge congratulations to our Panthera team who took part in this year's Race for Life in Preston on Saturday in support of Cancer Research UK. 🎉

Despite an uncertain weather forecast, the rain cleared just in time and our team enjoyed a fantastic morning walking, jogging and running together for an incredible cause.

We're proud to share that, thanks to the generosity of our employees, friends, family and supporters, we have raised over £1,600 so far for Cancer Research UK. 💖

A massive thank you to everyone who participated, donated, shared our fundraising page or came along to support the team. Every contribution helps fund life-saving research and brings us closer to a world where more people survive cancer.

Well done to everyone involved – a fantastic team effort for a truly worthwhile cause.

This International Clinical Trials Day, Panthera Biopartners was proud to support Health Heroes HQ: Exploring Health Research — an event celebrating the impact of clinical research and the people who make it possible. 💙

As a UK-wide clinical research organisation, we’re passionate about helping more people understand, access, and take part in research that shapes the future of healthcare.

Our Sheffield team joined partners from across healthcare and research to showcase how clinical trials work and how everyone can get involved through a range of interactive activities, including:

🩺 Healthy Hearts Check-up Station
🔬 The Pipette Pioneer Challenge
🍫 Chocolate Challenge: Tasting Trial
📸 Healthie-Selfie Corner
🧸 The Teddy Bear Trial
🎨 Crafting & Colouring Activities

The event supported the NIHR Be Part of Research campaign and highlighted the power of collaboration between NHS organisations, universities, research teams, and industry partners across the UK.

International Clinical Trials Day commemorates the first controlled clinical trial conducted on 20 May 1747 — a milestone that paved the way for the research and innovation that continues to improve healthcare today.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, took part, and continues to support clinical research. Together, we are helping shape healthier futures.

An incredible day at the 25th Health Mela (Silver Jubilee!) 🎉

Hosted by the National Forum for Health & Wellbeing at the University of Central Lancashire, the event was officially opened by the Mayor of Preston, Councillor Sue Whittam — a fantastic moment to be part of.

It was a really busy event, with lots of interest from the public keen to learn more about what we do and why it’s so important for future generations.

Great to connect with GPs, consultants, and other health providers from across the North West — all working towards improving community health.

Thanks to everyone who came over to speak with the Panthera team 👋

Struggling to keep the weight off? You’re not alone and it’s not just about willpower.

At Panthera Clinic, we explore why so many people regain weight after initial success, and how clinical trials are offering real answers. From long-term study designs to medical supervision and regular support, this isn’t another “quick fix” diet. It’s research focused on sustainable weight loss that lasts and better overall health along the way.

Want to know more about how science can help maintain your results, and not just kickstart them? Read more and discover what makes clinical trials different from the usual weight-loss programmes.

If you’ve ever lost weight before, you’ll know the hardest part: keeping it off. The first few weeks can feel encouraging. Clothes fit differently. The scales
