Dear All, We hope you are keeping well. Among all the chaos we hope we can bring you some good news regarding SeaSHeL. Our website is in the final stages of development and will be going live very soon. On the website, you can find important information and updates regarding the study, as well as having access to all relevant resources including any documents that you may need for registering or conducting the study at your site. You can view the website at seashel.co.uk.

A brief update about our study protocol; the manuscript has been submitted to the BMJ Open journal who are currently in the process of reviewing the paper. We will keep you updated on the progress as and when we hear back from them.

Finally, we would like to thank all collaborators for their patience during these difficult times. It has been great to see people taking the time to complete entries for patients who have already been recruited – this will be helpful for us as it is vital to have complete data for the study to be a success. We are thrilled to let you know that, despite the pressures of COVID19, there have been at least 10 sites who have continued to upload new data during this period – we thank you all for your continued engagement during these unprecedented times. If you have any questions regarding the study please contact us by email or call us on 07706608816.

Stay safe and well!
