Designing a Study

For help in designing a trial, writing a protocol and even monitoring  the project you should contact the NIHR Research Design Service (North East) in the first instance (e-mail Joanne.Dryburn@ncl.ac.uk); if appropriate, you may be referred to the Newcastle Clinical Trials Unit.

In order to decide which Clinical Specialty would be appropriate for your project and/or to access the relevant research support staff, such as Clinical Trial Co-ordinators or Research Nurses then please see the Clinical Research Facility page.

A full list of facilities and equipment available to support clinical reasearch is available.

Relevant Legislation

For help in navigating UK and EU legislation, such as Ethics, Research Governance and MHRA approvals please see the Research & Development section of the Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust website.
