Research & Innovation

Research at Nottingham University Hospitals is a fundamental, but often unseen, part of the Trust's work.

Nottingham has a long established history with research and innovation - the anti-inflammatory drug Ibuprofen and the MRI scanner were both developed in the city.

Without health research there would be no new medicines or tests, improved treatments, or better ways of providing healthcare. Doctors and nurses use research studies to compare current treatments with potentially better ones in order to prevent illnesses and improve quality of life as well as our understanding of medical conditions.

In partnership with The University of Nottingham’s prestigious medical school and other partners we deliver a wide range of health research for the benefit of our patients.
