NIHR national Patient Recruitment Centres (PRCs) are dedicated to setting up and delivering late phase commercial clinical trials in the NHS at pace and scale. All five centres work collaboratively, through an innovative collective model, to make it easier and quicker to deliver commercial research in the UK.
By attracting more commercial research to the UK, PRCs also increase opportunities for NHS patients to access cutting edge treatment and therapies that are not yet widely available through the NHS. Each Centre works regionally, by partnering with their local health sector, to ensure as many people as possible are given an opportunity to take part.
