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.
For more information on the Specialty Groups, contact Sarah Hill.
In addition to the local leads, the CLRN has two National Speciality Group Chairs:
- Clinical Genetics – Professor Sir John Burn
- Oral and Dental – Professor Jimmy Steele
