The Clinical Research Network, North West Coast helps to ensure research is delivered in an effective way so that key research questions can be answered. Their work allows new medicines, treatments and care to be developed which help to improve health and social care outcomes across the NHS and social care sector.
The Clinical Research Network in the North West Coast (CRN NWC) is a ‘network’ that comprises of 41 NHS partners consisting of 22 NHS Trusts and 19 Clinical Commissioning Groups. The region stretches across 4 counties from South Cheshire to South Cumbria. They are hosted by Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Research from the Department of Public Health and Policy has highlighted an alarming rise in health inequalities and infant mortality across Liverpool City Region. We must act now to find a research solution to reverse this worrying trend. The NIHR Clinical Research Network: North West Coast is proud to provide support for an ambitious and collaborative study that will follow 10,000 children born in Liverpool, and bring together researchers and healthcare staff to understand how we can provide a healthier start for our children born in the city. C-GULL will allow future generations to realise their potential, free from the burden that health inequality brings.
