We carry out a number of different types of studies, including basic science work (research performed within a laboratory) and clinical trials (involving patients, assessing the effect of a change such as a new drug or lifestyle intervention).
Your consultant will be able to inform you if you are eligible for any of the trials or studies that the unit is currently involved in.
