Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust provides a wide range of services catering for all ages to promote health, as well as support and manage a range of conditions and respective treatments. We are therefore very keen to be involved in both undertaking and hosting research studies to improve people's health.

Whether you are a patient or member of the public wanting to get involved in a research study, or from a university, NHS body, Life Science Company or other organisation wanting to work in collaboration with us - we want to hear from you.

We have robust governance procedures in place ensuring we only participate in high quality research studies.

The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), the NHS arm for research, encourages patients, service users and the public to get involved in clinical research by talking to healthcare professionals about research activities in their area. We support the ‘Be Part of Research’ campaign which helps us raise the profile of our research, so that our patients feel more confident to ask medical staff about studies they or their relatives can get involved in.

CLCH is a proud partner of the North West London Clinical Research Network.

Research changes people's lives, which is why we are we are committed to enabling our patients and service users’ opportunities to participate in clinical research studies and enhance treatment and care.

If you have been a research participant at CLCH we would be delighted to hear your experience and stories to showcase real-life examples of how our patients have benefited from clinical research, please contact the Research & Development Office (contact details shown below). You can also provide feedback by completing the NIHR Participant in Research Experience Surveys, available here.

  • Evaluating Clinical Outcomes in Nail Surgery: A Retrospective Audit of 80 Patients Using PASCOM-10
    Evidencing the outcomes of surgical practice is now an expected part of practice for podiatrists. The CLCH Community Podiatry team have taken the first step towards demonstrating their effectiveness and value to both patients and the organisation by being the first podiatry department in the country to publish PASCOM 10 - a national podiatry audit tool. In a nutshell, this is the recording of data relating to surgical management of toe nail plates.
    Our podiatry department will become one of the largest contributers to the national annual data collection by the time its rolled out across various London boroughs, including teams in Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea. You can read the full published paper here.
