Research and Innovation

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust’s Research and Innovation (R&I) department is committed to supporting research that is relevant and accessible to our patients.

Through clinical research, we can assess the efficacy of new medication, diagnostics, and treatment regimes. This helps to build the evidence for new approaches to improve patient care.

We are dedicated to driving improvement in the care that our patients receive, and we are involved in a diverse range of research, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, women’s health, respiratory disease, and surgery.

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust hosts the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Research Consortium, a partnership between NHS providers and primary care within the Integrated Care System. We provide clinical, managerial, and administrative support to those undertaking clinical research across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
