The South Manchester Clinical Research Facility is one of nineteen facilities funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to support experimental research. Our Clinical Research Facility provides an infrastructure of people, space and equipment to allow clinicians, scientists and researchers undertake experimental research and early phase clinical trials (phase IIa/b).  Hosted by the University Hospital of South Manchester, our facility serves a catchment area of approximately 5.4 million people and has a research focus on respiratory and allergic diseases.

We strive to provide a friendly environment to support patients and healthy volunteers who generously donate their time to participating in our research.  Despite being one of the smallest NIHR facilities, our unit carries out approximately X studies per year across a range of respiratory and allergic diseases.

Our specialist research areas include:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, our collaboration with The Medicines Evaluation Unit, a 36 bed clinical trials facility on the hospital site, allows us to support first in man (phase 1) respiratory and allergy clinical trials.
