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 Respiratory Specialty Group.

The Respiratory Specialty Group is working with other stakeholders to help plan new research studies that will address patient needs and can be successfully delivered in the NHS.
