The UK Clinical Research Network was established to support clinical research and to facilitate the conduct of trials and other well-designed studies across the UK. As part of the UK Clinical Research Collaboration, it works towards the development of a world class infrastructure to support clinical research in the UK. Clinical Research Networks throughout England are coordinated by the NIHR Clinical Research Network Coordinating Centre (NIHR CRN CC).
As well as supporting the creation of additional research infrastructure, the UK Clinical Research Network is working with key partners to improve the clinical research environment as a whole.
