Striving for excellence

Our research is conducted to the highest standards of excellence and is informed by the views and priorities of our patients, their carers and clinical colleagues.

Participation in Trust research is a rewarding and positive experience, and is fully integrated within the caring, safe and excellent standard clinical care that Oxford Health provides.

The Research and Development (R&D) department encompasses:

• Research Governance and Support Team
• Clinical Research Facility (CRF) team
• Research delivery teams (Community, Mental Health and Memory and Cognition)

In addition to the above core functions, R&D is supported by a dedicated Finance, Research Informatics, Communications, Quality Assurance and Engagement teams.

The department is based at the Warneford Hospital, Oxford. Research and Development is at the heart of Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.

We believe in the benefits of research to improve patient care, and on average have more than 100 studies open at any one time – ranging from small student projects to psychological interventions, to highly complex clinical trials of new medicines.
