Clinical Research Facilities (CRFs) for Experimental Medicine are dedicated facilities, where specialist clinical research and support staff from universities and NHS Trusts work together on patient-orientated commercial and non-commercial experimental medicine studies. We have over 50 CRFs within our Network, with over 110 individual units across the UK and Ireland.
