George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust is committed to supporting research to provide the very best care for its patients. Research is important to develop new treatments and improve the way we care. Patients may be asked if they wish to take part in a study when they visit the hospital.

There are a wide range of research studies available, from simple questionnaires to drug studies. 

We currently have studies looking at:

  • Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Heart disease
  • Maternity and childbirth
  • Surgery
  • Intensive care
  • Respiratory
  • Gastroenterology
  • Haematology 
  • Orthopaedic
  • Sexual Health

Studies in other disease areas may also be available.  If you are interested in research, please feel free to ask a member of staff if there are studies available for you. Participation is voluntary, and patients who do not wish to take part will continue to receive the best care we are able to offer.

All research being conducted at George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust has been reviewed by the research department and a research ethics committee to ensure every study is of the very best standard.

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust is measured against two national targets to improve the way it conducts research. 

These are:

  • Initiation – it should take no more than 70 days to receive consent from a patient after a researcher has provided their study paperwork to the R&D department.

  • Delivery – we should have the number of patients consented into a trial within the timeline we agreed at the start of the study.

You can see how we are performing here - Performance and initiation research and performance and delivering research Q1-Q4 20-21 and Q1 21-22

Our performance is comparable with other Trusts. We are actively looking at innovative new ways to improve the way we deliver research.
