Our Research Performance

The Government wishes to see a dramatic and sustained improvement in the performance of providers of NHS services in initiating and delivering clinical research. This means how long the trust takes to open a clinical trial for recruitment from first agreeing to do so to recruiting the first participant and also if we meet our target recruitment for commercial contract clinical trials. Our research department receives some funding from the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and as part of this contract we are required to publish our data on a quarterly basis.
