Clinical Research Performance

The Government has told NHS providers that it wants to see an increase in the number of patients who have the opportunity to participate in research and to enhance the nation’s attractiveness as a host for research.

As part of its research performance reporting to the Department of Health under the ‘Performance in Initiating and Delivering Clinical Research Initiative’, the Trust is required to publish information regarding:

• Our recruitment to clinical trials namely whether the 70 day benchmark to recruit first patient into the trial has been met (Performance in initiating clinical research)
•  Our recruitment to time and target for commercial contract clinical trials (Performance in delivering clinical research)

Published information, divided by year, is available in the menus on the right hand side.
