Commercial research

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals (NNUH) are committed to providing the best care for every patient through research and working closely with industry partners.

We are keen to work with pharmaceutical, medical device, biotech, artificial intelligence and diagnostic companies to offer our patients opportunities to take part in new and innovative studies.

We offer access to investigators across multiple clinical areas, a dedicated research delivery and support team, and exceptional facilities at our National Institute for Health and Social Care Research (NIHR) Norfolk Clinical Research Facility.

National Contract Value Review

Our Research & Development team are committed to setting up studies promptly and efficiently following site selection. We work to the National Contract Value Review (NCVR) principles to ensure budget and contract negotiations are completed in a timely manner.

Our team includes experienced NCVR reviewers who offer expert advice during the study resource review process where we are the lead UK NHS site.

Pre-site selection

Our team can facilitate introductions to researchers, review and sign-off of confidentiality agreements, help to arrange site qualification calls or visits, and answer any queries you may have about local set-up processes and timelines.

Post-site selection

Once NNUH is selected to take part in the study, you will be assigned a member of the R&D commercial research team who will be your primary contact throughout the study set-up process; they will co-ordinate and liaise with all relevant departments involved in the study to facilitate efficient site set-up.
