👏 Lancashire Teaching Hospitals is proud to be shaping the future of clinical research - locally and nationally.

Paul Brown, Deputy Director of Research & Innovation (Operations) and Director of the UK Clinical Research Facility Network, spoke at the UKCRF Network Conference 2025, highlighting the vital role of our NIHR CRF in Lancashire.

Clinical Research Facilities (CRF) are specialist hubs for early-phase trials, testing new treatments at the safety and efficacy stage. At Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, our CRF focuses on oncology, neuroscience, and renal, and we’re now advancing cancer vaccine research.

The UKCRF Network, which Paul leads, has grown significantly since its formation in 2010, securing over £3 million in funding through 2029. Its work spans operational development, trial support, workforce training, and patient / public involvement - key to building trust and improving diversity in research participation.

Lancashire is also exploring community-based research partnerships, ensuring innovation reaches beyond hospital walls.

With continued growth, new funding, and a strong leadership team, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals is well-positioned to remain at the forefront of clinical research, locally and nationally.

🌍 A world-first surgical technique developed right here at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals is making waves across Europe and the US!

Consultant colore**al surgeons Mr Tarek Hany, Ms Alka Jadav and Mr Arnab Bhowmick have successfully completed 100 cases of the pioneering EXPERTS procedure — a minimally invasive approach that improves patient safety, speeds up recovery, and reduces complications.

International interest is growing fast, with leading surgeons flying in from Florida, Spain, Italy and Malaysia to learn from our team. The Trust has even developed bespoke 3D and VR tools to support global training.
