Performance
Setting up trials efficiently: performance initiating
research
Over the past six years we have significantly reduced the time
it takes to set up clinical trials. Nearly 8 out of 10 trials
we open now recruit the first participant within just over two
months from the date we agreed we could do the trial in our
hospitals. We measure the time from receipt of a valid
application to the first patient consented that goes on to be
recruited.
Recruiting participants as planned: performance delivering
commercial research
Our life sciences partners invest significantly in the UK
economy to develop new treatments for patients in the NHS and
across the world. When we take part in a commercial trial, we
agree how many participants we will recruit and within what
timeframe. We measure how well we do to meet those
targets.
Our performance data against these measures can be found by
