Our health research champion
Dr Ian Wood, MRCGP
Welcome to the Health research hub. Here you’ll find a wealth of information on what clinical research is, what it does, and how you can very simply get involved to start transforming lives.
Clinical research is vital to healthcare, allowing a better understanding of conditions, diseases and medicines to help us all live longer, healthier lives. It can help us to identify the best means to prevent, diagnose and treat a whole range of health conditions – but it needs participants like you to make this happen.
