Research
We are a research active Trust. This means that we take part in several National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) studies in a variety of different patient conditions/illnesses in the Trust including maternity, gynaecology, neonatal unit & children. Research is important to help in the prevention of ill-health, earlier diagnosis, more effective treatments, new ways of providing care and faster recovery.
You may be approached by the Doctor looking after you, a member of the Research Team or a Research Champion to tell you about a research study that you or your baby could take part in. You will be given a study information leaflet to read, any study questions answered and then if you are happy to take part you will be asked to sign a study consent form. You will receive a copy of your consent form.
