The Centre for Health Research and Innovation
The Centre for Health Research and Innovation is based within the Lancashire Clinical Research Facility at Royal Preston Hospital. However we work across both the Preston and Chorley sites as well as a number of community and satellite units.
The team consists of a core Research & Innovation administrative team who support a multi-disciplinary team, consisting of clinical trial support officers and administrators who work across five clinical themes and the NIHR Lancashire CRF
R & I Team
The core Research & Innovation team oversee the Research Governance, Performance, Quality and Finance associated with our research studies. They provide advice and support to researchers on the processes for study set-up and gaining NHS permission, with guidance on 'clean housekeeping' to ensure a trial is conducted, recorded, and reported properly. They also collate and report the Centre for Health Research and Innovation's data on recruitment. The team has links to universities and can support the development of collaborations, costing of research funding applications, and ensuring the correct Quality Systems are in place to safely conduct clinical trials.
