Research

As Northern Ireland’s largest research delivery platform, we act as the central hub offering effective access to multi-disciplinary research stakeholders. We work closely with research partners across Trusts, governance, academia, charities, and commercial sponsors. We share knowledge, locally, nationally and internationally.

Clinical Specialities

The Clinical Research Network is made up of different Clinical Specialities (Interest Groups) working in areas that are relevant to Health and Social Care. These are led by clinicians with a proven track record in clinical research. The Clinical Speciality Groups are facilitated by research support posts in the HSC, so that researchers have access to experienced staff, who can carry out the research study.
