NHS Wales CRDC

Wales CRDC is a whole-nation, integrated system providing access to all ten of our NHS organisations. Coordinated nationally, supported locally, and enabled by connected data and a diverse 3.2 million patient population, it offers sponsors a streamlined, efficient and reliable environment for trial delivery.

Wales CRDC is built around core teams with a strong track record, supported by a network of researchers across primary, community and secondary care. This enables access to both urban and rural populations and harnesses our connected health systems.

• Built for partnership: The One Wales approach gives sponsors direct access to a single, coordinated national system, backed by the Welsh Government. It combines aligned processes, joined-up delivery, and a highly skilled, well-connected workforce that works as one to enable efficient trial delivery.
• Built for recruitment: Wales delivers reliable patient recruitment and retention through its well characterised health needs across specialties, compact geography, clear clinical need, and specialist clinical leadership.
• Built for data and connectivity: Wales delivers efficient, high-quality trials through digitally enabled feasibility, recruitment, and follow-up - supported by a connected NHS system, seamless data flow, and advanced data linkage.
