NIHR CRDC: Bradford and West Yorkshire logo

NIHR CRDC: Bradford and West Yorkshire is led by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and delivered in partnership with Mid Yorkshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. This collaborative model brings together regional expertise to deliver high-quality commercial research at scale. 

We have a broad range of specialties including Respiratory, Cardiology, Child Health, Ophthalmology, Oncology & Haematology, Vaccines, Diabetes and Obesity, Renal, Mental Health, Dermatology, Rheumatology, Gastroenterology and Neurology.

Serving a diverse population of over 1.5 million people, including some of the UK's most underserved communities, we are committed to making research accessible and inclusive. We support delivery across hospitals, primary care, care homes and community settings, complemented by our innovative Mobile Research Vehicle.

Our CRDC combines a strong track record in UK and global clinical trial delivery with deep community engagement and advanced data capabilities. This enables us to recruit efficiently, reach underrepresented populations and deliver research that reflects real-world needs.

Working across our partner organisations, we are proud to be at the forefront of inclusive, sustainable and digitally enabled research delivery, supporting life sciences partners to deliver impactful studies that benefit patients and communities throughout West Yorkshire.
