Welcome to clinical research at Newcastle Hospitals.
We’re really proud of our worldwide reputation for clinical research. Research has so many benefits, from vaccine discovery and finding new drugs and treatments, to developing scientific knowledge to support the health and wellbeing of patients and the public.
There are over 400 people employed at Newcastle Hospitals who directly deliver research to participants involved in clinical trials.
We work closely with Newcastle University, industry partners, and charities to identify and provide new cutting-edge treatments and techniques. There are studies and trials taking place in most clinical departments, covering many disease areas.
The progress our teams make, the new procedures and treatments they test, benefit the health and well-being of Newcastle patients and thousands of others around the region, country and internationally.
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.
