Research is a cornerstone of better healthcare, and evidence shows that research-active NHS organisations deliver improved outcomes for patients. Liverpool University Hospital sites and Liverpool Women’s University Hospital, part of the University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, are proud to embed research and innovation within clinical practice as a core element of delivering high-quality care.

The organisation actively supports a wide range of research studies that contribute to the development of new treatments, enhance patient care, and shape the future of medicine. This commitment ensures that patients are given the opportunity to participate in research that may benefit both themselves, their children and others.

This approach aligns with the NHS’s 2025 10-Year Plan, which positions research and innovation as central to how care is delivered and developed. Within the plan, research and innovation are recognised not only as means of advancing medical knowledge and care, but as central components in building a sustainable, forward-looking NHS that is globally influential by 2035.

Over the coming years, the University Hospitals of Liverpool Group aims to be among the leading NHS organisations for research activity. In collaboration with clinical and academic partners, the organisation will continue to support high-quality clinical  research that delivers meaningful benefits for local communities and contributes to national and international progress in healthcare."
