CCRN is made up of 25 Comprehensive Local Research Networks (CLRNs). Most of these CLRNs have nominated Local Leads, as have the Devolved Nations, which make up the membership of the national Ophthalmology Specialty Group.

The Ophthalmology Specialty Group is working with other stakeholders (including the Royal College of Ophthalmologists) to promote the successful delivery of research studies and to help plan new studies that will address patient needs and that will be feasible to deliver in the current NHS setting.
