    Research and innovation sits within the Lincolnshire Clinical Research Facility. We have research nurses, research pharmacists, radiographers and non-clinical staff based in approvals and database systems.

Most importantly, we help play a critical role in front line delivery of NHS care to patients and their families.

    Clinical trials maintain your privacy and dignity.
