This is an exciting opportunity to impact the international and national landscape of commercial clinical trials, transforming and supercharging the way the UK delivers commercial research.
A Commercial Research Delivery Centre (CRDC) Network is being established to coordinate activities across a UK network of CRDCs, providing national leadership, alignment, strategic engagement, and enhancing the capacity and efficiency of commercial research delivery across the centres.
This Network, engaging and coordinating all CRDCs across the UK, will be hosted and led by Leicester Hospitals NHS Trust.
You will join us at the beginning as we establish this UK-leading, person-centred Network, ensuring equitable access, diverse recruitment, and efficient, gold-standard, aligned trial delivery. We will prioritize improving NHS and patient access to trials and accelerating approval of innovations, working closely with the devolved nations and existing national NIHR and commercial clinical trials infrastructure.
Network activities will be organized into nine Themes overseen by a matrix of CRDC Directors and specialists drawn from the Network. Activities will be led and coordinated by the Network Operational Management Team led by the Network Operational Director.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for 2023-2030.
We have four primary goals:
* high-quality care for all,
* being a great place to work,
* partnerships for impact,
* research and education excellence
We will embed health equality in all we do—taking active steps to reduce avoidable differences in healthcare, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values, and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
* we are compassionate,
* we are proud,
* we are inclusive,
* we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
