UHS R&D Department

“World leading care delivered by world leading people”​
​
Our vision for research is to work with our partners at the leading edge of healthcare, realising the research potential in all areas of our hospital for the benefit of our patients and staff.​
​
Our aspiration is that every clinical area will be engaged in high quality research and every patient and member of staff should have the opportunity to be part of a research study.​

Our mission is to embed research in all of our clinical services and in doing so achieve an international reputation for being a research-led University Hospital.
