The unit is a UK Clinical Research Collaboration registered Clinical Trials Unit, and has close links with local NHS Trusts and with the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre.
NCTU has a broad portfolio of studies to evaluate drugs, devices and complex interventions. We also design and conduct methodological research to improve how we do trials. Our research funding comes from NIHR, charities, and collaboration with industry. Results from our research is published in high impact journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet, and forms a cornerstone of the University’s Research Excellence Framework submissions.
The Professor of Clinical Trials role is key in further strengthening the unit’s research capability.
