Our research

We support a wide range of high-quality clinical and non-clinical research, reflecting the diversity of our services and the needs of our population.

This includes:

  • clinical trials of new treatments and therapies
  • studies to improve diagnosis, prevention and long‑term care
  • research to improve how services are delivered
  • digital, data and innovation‑led research
  • work focused on safety, quality, inclusion and equity

We collaborate closely with universities, NHS partners, industry, charities and patient groups to deliver research that makes a real difference.

Take part in research

Patients, carers, staff and the public are at the heart of our research.

If you choose to take part:

  • your care will not be affected if you decide to withdraw
  • you will receive clear information to help you decide
  • your safety, privacy and dignity will always come first

Taking part in research helps improve healthcare for others, now and in the future.
