Cheshire and Merseyside is a region of more than 2.5 million people, with a diverse population across major urban centres, coastal communities and rural areas.
With over 1.4 million residents in Merseyside and more than 1.1 million in Cheshire, the region presents a broad and varied set of health and care needs, as well as significant opportunities for innovation and collaboration.
The collaborative work of the Cheshire and Merseyside CRDC aim to support commercial partners to develop and deliver research to improve health outcomes for local communities.
The latest UKHSA Health Inequalities in Health Protection report shows that the North West of England experiences higher-than-average demand for care related to infectious diseases, providing a unique opportunity to deliver research that can make a real difference.
With a large, diverse population and clearly identified areas of need, the region offers an ideal environment for delivering meaningful clinical research that directly benefit local communities. By bringing research to the North West through the Cheshire and Merseyside CRDC, partners can work with specialist organisations to deliver research where it matters most.
