The NHS Constitution pledge to all patients: “to inform you of research studies in which you may be eligible to participate”
Studies have shown that research-active trusts provide better care and outcomes for patients. As a result, Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust is committed to delivering and sustaining quality research which improves care and treatment and contributes to better services and health for people with physical and mental health related problems, their carers or our staff.
Many research projects need the help of those people living with a particular health condition to ensure they are effective. We are proud of our record of involving service users, people with lived experience, carers, family members and study partners in our research and the contribution their lived experience brings to our work. We support a range of observational and interventional research from interview or questionnaire studies, to randomised controlled trials testing drugs and therapies.
