Local Specialty Groups

Local Specialty Groups bring together researchers to provide a local focus for activity in that disease area

Each CLRN has identified their areas of strength at a local level where there is the commitment, capability and capacity to support NIHR Clinical Research Network Portfolio studies. CLRNs have also identified areas for development to support growth in the future and these groups all feed into the relevant national Specialty Group.

The Norfolk and Suffolk CLRN is supporting the development of 13 Specialty Groups to provide subject specific expertise and enthusiasm. These are:
