NIHR CRDC: South London

NIHR CRDC: South London focuses on delivering coordinated and inclusive commercial research across acute, specialist, community, mental health and primary care settings. 

Operating as a single, integrated delivery system, partners including Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust provide industry partners with seamless access to diverse populations and multiple care pathways through a unified research infrastructure.

The CRDC combines highly specialised national services with extensive community engagement, offering exceptional population reach across some of the UK's most ethnically and socioeconomically diverse communities. Leveraging established community partnerships and cultural humility groups, research is integrated directly into local settings, enhancing accessibility, participation, and representation in commercial research. This infrastructure supports the delivery of more inclusive studies and enables access to populations often underrepresented in research.
