Clinical Trials Units

The BHF CRC have established a list of accredited clinical trial units (CTUs) who have expertise in cardiovascular trials and have agreed to partner with us to promote the quantity and quality of research in this field.

These first-rank units have all achieved recognition by the UKCRC and NIHR. We are confident that prospective cardiovascular researchers will be able to identify an ideal trials unit partner from this group.

If you work with or know of a CTU that is not listed below, please do get in touch via our email address enquiries@bhfcrc.org for further information on how to collaborate with the BHF CRC.
