Research

Our vision is to offer every patient the chance to participate, because we know research improves outcomes.

"Research with infants, children and young people is essential to improve our understanding of childhood diseases and provide healthcare based on the best possible evidence." (RCPCH, 2016)

The choice to take part in research is entirely yours; if you prefer not to take part it will not affect the care you receive.
