Three research active, Liverpool-based NHS Foundation Trusts - Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, alongside The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and Liverpool University Hospitals - have come together to collaborate to provide services and facilitate clinical research as part of the NIHR Clinical Research Facility across all three sites.

The collaboration brings together specialist knowledge and skills, as well as cutting-edge facilities and equipment to enable professionals to carry out important research.

There are currently a number of studies happening between the three organisations in areas such as cancer and cardiovascular research.

Included in the collaboration is the introduction of the Liverpool CRF Biobank, hosted by CCC. This is a centralised location which stores samples such as tissue, blood, urine and other biological samples from patients at all three sites.

With the specialties provided by the NIHR Liverpool CRF collaboration we are changing how healthcare is provided, not only in the UK, but across the world.
