NIHR CRDC: Leicestershire and Northamptonshire
NIHR CRDC: Leicestershire and Northamptonshire is hosted by University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL), one of the UK's largest acute NHS trusts and host of the CRDC UK Network. The Centre brings together eight research delivery sites across primary and secondary care, providing industry partners with access to diverse patient populations through a coordinated regional infrastructure.
Through a multi-location model spanning hospitals, community services, and primary care, our CRDC supports efficient study delivery, broad patient reach, and improved access to research closer to home. Experienced research teams, dedicated facilities, and streamlined processes enable rapid study set-up and high-quality delivery across a wide range of commercial studies in adults and paediatrics.
Combining the scale and specialist expertise of a major teaching hospital with the reach of community-based research sites, our CRDC offers sponsors a trusted partner for accelerating recruitment, enhancing participant diversity, and delivering commercial research efficiently and at scale.
