Welcome to research

Research

As a university Trust we believe research is key to providing exceptional care. Our aim is to offer every patient the opportunity to take part in research, to develop new medicines, devices and treatments.

We host research funded by external organisations including the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and the life sciences industry.

We support home grown studies, and sponsor high quality research of clear value to the NHS. From new investigators with their first ideas to multi-centre randomised controlled trials, we can work with you to design, set-up and deliver your research.
