Lancashire Clinical Trials Unit

Institute for Applied Health and Wellbeing (LIFE)

The Lancashire Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) has been set up to manage health related trials for UCLan and external organisations.

The Lancashire CTU team has accrued many years of experience in the skills required to develop, manage and analyse clinical trials with a growing specialisation in trials of complex interventions, in particular feasibility trials.

The formulation of the Lancashire CTU structure was initiated in 2012 and we are currently supporting national and international trials.

These services are underpinned by our robust quality assurance processes.
