About us
Research is essential in finding out which treatments work better for our patients.
Why we do research
Many of our patients take part in research studies that look to assess new treatments, devices or techniques against current standards of care to identify the best ways of looking after patients and keeping people healthy.
What is research
Research is exploring which treatments work better for patients; we already know a lot about health, disease and medicines, but there is much more to find out. Research can answer these uncertainties.
