About Us

Clinical Research Facilities (CRFs) for Experimental Medicine are dedicated facilities, where specialist clinical research and support staff from universities and NHS Trusts work together on patient-orientated commercial and non-commercial experimental medicine studies.

The UKCRF Network supports CRFs by providing best practice guidance and tools to ensure each CRF delivers clinical trials of the highest standard.

The UKCRF Network is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and the Chief Scientist Office of Scotland.
