Clinical Research Facilities

A network of Clinical Research Facilities (CRFs) within Scotland provide a purpose-built environment for patient-oriented research. They provide access to cutting-edge clinical facilities and opportunities for research scientists to work closely with clinical researchers, and support the advancement of new therapies and treatments for patients.

Facilities are available to:

• Healthcare professionals who would like to undertake commercial or non-commercial clinical and healthcare research projects
• Any researcher who needs to utilise a clinical facility is eligible to request access whether he or she works for a University, the NHS or another research organisation
• Large and small pharmaceutical and technology device companies and contract research firms
