We have joined the North West London Clinical Trials Alliance
Our Trust joins the North West London Clinical Trials Alliance, alongside Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust and West London NHS Trust, giving the Alliance full coverage across the North West London Integrated Care System (ICS).
The alliance is dedicated to delivering commercial and non-commercial sponsored clinical trials - improving the ease and speed of research delivery, patient access to clinical research and patient opportunities for early access to cutting edge treatment and therapies that are not yet widely available to patients.
Dr Samantha Kon, consultant chest physician, said:
We are very much looking forward to working collaboratively with the alliance. Hillingdon patients will benefit from its collective research expertise, as well as new opportunities to participate in cutting edge innovation and research.
The director of the North West London Clinical Trials Alliance, Dr Suki Balendra, is looking forward to the opportunities the new partnerships will bring. She said:
It is my pleasure to announce the expansion of the alliance to include a further three local NHS trusts. We now cover the entire region as served by the North West London ICS. This means we will be able to increase collaboration across the region and create more opportunities for patients and the public to get involved in innovative research locally.
We are also very excited to be developing a new partnership with Professor Siddiqui and the Imperial Clinical Respiratory Research Unit, working on a portfolio of airways disease clinical trials designed to deliver new treatments for patients.
