Research recruitment success for 2017

Research teams across Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CMFT) have been successful in recruiting the first UK and European patients to a number of clinical studies so far this year.

This important milestone highlights the efficient set up of clinical studies across the Trust and also helps maintain good performance against the NIHR’s benchmark of 70 days from a valid application to first patient recruited: research initiation.

At CMFT, we are using research to make a real difference to people’s lives. We deliver research across a diverse range of clinical areas.

Below is a summary of the recent successes for the research teams since April 2017.
