Research at SASH

Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust is involved in a range of research programmes that aim to improve treatments for our patients.

How research helps patients

  • Research is essential to help us get a better understanding of what happens when someone falls ill. Research also helps us to learn how to prevent illnesses happening and improve quality of life
  • All our research projects are essential to advancing medical knowledge and ultimately improving treatment for patients in the future
  • If they want to take part, we offer our patients the chance to get involved in clinical trials, and to participate in research
  • This means that some of our patients can often be the first to benefit from the very latest treatments

 


Initiating and delivering clinical research

We aim to become a centre of excellence for research by ensuring that:

  • participation in research studies and clinical trials is offered to as many patients as possible
  • our research is initiated as quickly as possible

 

The Trust aims are underpinned by the government’s initiatives to improve the performance of providers of NHS services in initiating and delivering clinical research, which has been driven by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) vision, mission and aims.

The Government’s Plan for Growth, published in March 2011, announced the transformation of incentives at local level for efficiency in initiation and delivery of clinical research.

The NIHR has therefore established two performance benchmarks that we and other NHS providers are measured against. The aim of these benchmarks is to increase the number of patients who have the opportunity to participate in research and to enhance the nation’s attractiveness as a host for research.

The two benchmarks are as follows:

Initiating clinical research

This data provides detail of trial set up and first participant recruitment times.

Information about our performance in initiating clinical trials is available below:

Performance in initiating research April 2019 to March 2020 Performance in initiating research July 2019 to June 2020 Performance in initiating research October 2019 to September 2020

Delivering clinical research – time and target

Recruitment to time and target for all commercial clinical trials – measuring whether or not we have recruited the target number of patients in the agreed timeframe.

Information about our performance in delivering commercial trials is available below:

Performance in delivering research April 2019 to March 2020 Performance in delivering research October 2019 to September 2020 Performance in delivering research July 2019 to July 2020

From April 2014 we are required to submit our quarterly performance data to the NIHR and to publish on our website.


Patient information and research

All NHS organisations are expected to participate and support health and care research. The Health Research Authority and government departments in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales set standards for NHS organisations to make sure they protect your privacy and comply with the law when they are involved in research.
