Research and Development at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital

“Research is essential in working out which treatments work better for patients” – (NHS National Institute for Health Research)

The Luton and Dunstable University Hospital has an active Research / Clinical Trials Department and you may be approached by your Consultant or a member of the Research Team with information on a clinical trial or research study.

If you are a patient or carer, or perhaps a member of public with an interest, you can help research. You could become a participant in a clinical research study that may benefit many people. You could even help shape clinical research by becoming more actively involved and having a say.

For more information please see the leaflet on ‘Understanding Clinical Trials’ ‘Understanding Clinical Trials’.
