UNIVERSITY Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust (UHP) is celebrating being top of the leader board as the highest recruiting large acute trust for commercial studies in the country.
According to the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)'s Open Data Platform, UHP recruited a total number of 597 participants to commercial studies in the financial year 20212022, which is the highest number compared to all large acute trusts across the UK.
"Despite a really challenging year, the Research and Development team, in collaboration with our Principal Investigators and their clinical teams have pulled out all the stops to make this recruitment figure possible," explains Dr. Gary Minto, Director of Research and Development at UHP.
"Research is everyone's business, and UHP staff have shown great resilience throughout the pandemic. Our research delivery team, even when redeployed for long periods to clinical services, have still managed to juggle a vast research portfolio at the same time. It's really important that we acknowledge everyone's contribution to this success.
