Welcome to the Clinical Research Network
As part of the National Institute for Health Research, we help to provide the infrastructure that allows high-quality clinical research to take place in the NHS, so that patients can benefit from new and better treatments, and we can learn how to improve NHS healthcare for the future. On this site you can find out how we are: helping researchers to set up clinical studies quickly and effectively; supporting the life-sciences industry to deliver their research programmes; providing health professionals with research training; and working with patients to ensure their needs are at the very centre of all research activity.
