We are a world-class leader in clinical research and have one of the largest portfolios of studies. At any one time we can have over 1,000 research projects taking place in our hospitals.
Our clinicians work closely with scientists at UCL (University College London) and together we continue to make advances in medical research that will directly benefit patients and save many lives.
Our work ranges from experimental medicine,which looks at the causes of disease, how certain treatments work and whether they are safe, to large scale clinical trials which test the effectiveness of new drugs.
Because we are an international centre for research, our patients have access to some of the most cutting edge treatments.Each year thousands of our patients volunteer to take part in these studies.
Our research is delivered through:
-
-
our Joint Research Office which provides research management and support with biostatistics, governance and professional development
-
-
the UCL Clinical Trials Unit which is a specialist unit with a specific remit to design, conduct, analyse and publish clinical trials and other well-designed studies
