What are Clinical Trials?
Clinical trials are a type of health research. We use trials to test new health treatments or processes, known as interventions. An intervention is anything that is put in place to try and improve people’s health.

Working with Patients and the Public
Patients and the public are at the centre of our research. We collaborate and interact with the public in a variety of ways. This ranges from patients taking part in our trials, to sharing our findings with the public, and even collaborating with the public as co-researchers.
