Clinical research is essential if we are to stay at the forefront of innovative and effective treatment and care.
Recent benefits include vaccine discovery, developing new drugs and treatments, and improving scientific knowledge to support health and wellbeing.
We employ over 400 people in research roles, who work directly with participants in clinical trials, and we have studies and trials taking place in most departments, covering many disease areas.
Working closely with Newcastle University, industry partners, and charities, our research colleagues are dedicated to identifying and providing new cutting-edge treatments and techniques.
The progress they make, and the new procedures and treatments they test, benefit the health of Newcastle patients and thousands of others around the region, country and world.
Taking part in research
Research and clinical trials couldn’t happen without patients.
There are so many reasons to get involved – research and clinical trials can have an immediate positive effect on patients and can also help with potential life-saving treatments and improved outcomes in the future.
