The Golden Jubilee Research Institute, formally known as the Beardmore Centre for Health Science, facilitates and supports high quality research which conforms to the quality standards required by guidance (the Research Governance Framework for Health and Community Care SGHD 2006) and legislation (the EU Clinical Trials Directive).
We host projects sponsored by device and pharmaceutical companies as well as projects sponsored by Universities and by other NHS organisations.
We are committed to facilitating rapid set up of research projects. During 2016/17, the average time to review and approve studies was under five days against a Chief Scientist Office (CSO) target of 30 days.
Our Clinical Research Facility has four consulting rooms, a research support office, a secure file room and a small laboratory. All research follow-up visits take place in this facility.
