Why do Research?

People being looked after in the NHS benefit from research that has already taken place and will continue to benefit from research taking place today.

The NHS has made huge progress in developing new treatments and medicines, but there is still much that is unknown. Research can answer questions, filling in the gaps in knowledge and changing the way Doctors and health professionals treat their patients. This means improved treatment and care for you and your family, not only today but in the future.
