Industry collaborations

As part of our commitment to supporting industry led research, we have a Board level endorsed strategic drive to develop successful collaborations with industry through acting as a research site for commercially sponsored research studies and  working with SMEs to develop ideas into research studies as part of our Derby Clinical Trials Support Unit (DCTSU) services.

We have a dedicated study set up team who work on commercial research projects to ensure timely set up and delivery of commercial research projects. This involves budget negotiation, feasibility review (including support department authorisations) and ongoing performance management of recruitment. The team works closely with the East Midlands Regional Research Delivery Network (RRDN) to ensure that a quality service is provided and that studies are set up as quickly as possible and managed throughout the whole lifecycle.

Studies are set up to ensure compliance with UK and EU legislation related to clinical trials and clinical research. To support this, we have a dedicated Clinical Trials Pharmacy Team and we are also supported by a team of nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants who endeavour to deliver a successful research study.
