Research and Development

One of the core duties of all NHS organisations is to collaborate in NHS research and to enable patients and the public to participate in high quality research which will benefit their own and future patient’s health and healthcare and is deemed of benefit to the NHS.

NHS research is managed by an NHS body called the National Institute for Health Research Part of the NIHR which helps run the delivery of research is called the Clinical Research Network . Our Trust work very closely with the CRN Eastern, hosted by the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital to set up clinical studies quickly and effectively, provide health professionals with research training and work with patients and the public to ensure their needs are at the centre of all research activity.

To offer patients opportunities to be involved in research, we have our own dedicated research service. The team work across all our services to support the delivery of NIHR research projects.
