Welcome

from Professor Mark Caulfield - Institute Director (WHRI)

Mark Caulfield

We hope you find the following pages useful and informative.  Clinical trials allow us to find more effective methods to screen for, prevent, diagnose, or treat a variety of diseases.  WHRI in conjunction with Barts and The London NHS Trust are always looking to develop research studies in all areas of medicine. We work with colleagues from all over our three hospitals (The Royal London, London Chest and St Bartholomew’s Hospitals) and in the medical school, which is part of Queen Mary University of London, and from over 120 GP surgeries in north east London.

Our work on clinical trials forms part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) BRU (Biomedical Research Unit) at Barts and The London.  The NHS sees growing our ability to do medical research as a national priority and we are grateful to benefit from this support.

Even if you don’t live locally we regularly see patients from places as far afield as Hull and Manchester, for example, and we work with fellow enthusiasts all over the UK.

This website has been designed to showcase some of the things we do. The studies we are involved in are a mixture of work that we design ourselves, work funded by major UK charities and sponsors such as the British Heart Foundation or Medical Research Council and trials sponsored by commercial companies developing new drugs, tests or treatments.

At any one time we cannot have trials to suit everyone, but we’d still be keen for you to have a look at what we do, and if you register your details with us we may well be able to find something to interest you.

We hope that we can explain what trials mean to us.

Perhaps more importantly our patients can tell you what trials mean to them.

You can see some of the trials we’ve done in the past and a little about how they’ve changed treatment- past studies

And the studies we’re working on now - current studies

Once you’ve got to know us a bit better we’d be delighted if you leave your details with us so that you might be able to get involved.
