The Norwich Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU) is a leading academic clinical trials unit (CTU) that supports health and social care research from grant development through to publication.

We are a fully registered UKCRC CTU demonstrating our experience in leading the design, coordination and the analysis of multi-centred randomised controlled trials and other well-designed studies.

We work with industry, researchers and clinicians across the UK to design and deliver high-quality studies that aim to improve patient care and advance medical knowledge.

We have a team of experienced and qualified staff with expertise in all aspects of clinical trials, including:

• Trial design and planning
• Trial management
• Data management
• Qualitative Research and Process Evaluation
• Health Economic Analysis
• Statistical analysis
• Quality Assurance
• Dissemination

As a unit, we have a particularly diverse range of studies which include;

• Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products

• Clinical Investigations of Medical Devices

• Social Care and Public Health Research

• Behavioural Interventions

• Mental Health and Clinical Psychology

• Observational studies

• Qualitative research

Units awarded UKCRC Registration are required to provide evidence to an international panel of experts of their capability to centrally coordinate multi-centre clinical trials (i.e. having overall responsibility for the design, development, recruitment, data management, publicity and analysis of a portfolio of trials), and that they have established robust systems to ensure conduct and delivery of clinical trials to the highest quality standards.
