The NIHR Clinical Research Facility Birmingham (CRF) is jointly managed by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust (UHB), Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Trust (BWC) and the University of Birmingham (UoB) and comes under the structure of Birmingham Health Partners (BHP).

We offer a single inclusive management structure across both adult and paediatric sites for all CRF research activity, which integrates research governance, provides cross-cutting expertise and economies of scale.

This approach allows shared studies across sites providing seamless transitional care from child-to-adult services.
