About our research office

We deliver the opportunity to participate in research.

The job of the Research Office in Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust is to co-ordinate research activity across our services, and work with researchers and sponsors of research to make sure our community can participate in well regulated, clinically useful, and ethically scrutinised research projects.

We support National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and other research activity involving our staff and our patients. The goal of this research is improve the services delivered in this community and across the NHS.

Read the latest Performance In Initiating (PII) and Performance In Delivering (PID) NHIR quarterly reports.

A measure of success in choosing the right studies, and successfully promoting them, is how many people from the community choose to participate.

Research Support Policy is currently under review pending ratification.
