North West London Clinical Trials Alliance — launch event

The North West London Clinical Trials Alliance will be launched at a special online event on 14 September 2021.

The alliance is made up of four organisations — the NIHR Clinical Research Network North West London, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust.
