Clinical research is the scientific study of health and the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness. Not only is it important for advancements in treatment but it has been proven that patients cared for in a research-active organisation have better outcomes.

In an average year we recruit more than 10,000 research participants into a broad range of research studies and trials. These are supported by over 380 members of staff who are specifically employed to facilitate their successful set up and delivery. 

Everyone in the clinical research directorate plays an important part in helping to embed research into patient care. We offer our staff unique learning opportunities that enable them to fulfil their role and maximise their potential.
