Our model is flexible and tailored to sponsor needs. You can access all CRDC hub locations, or work with selected sites. Regular PI oversight and central co-ordination ensure consistent delivery and rapid issue resolution. Central oversight, shared SOPs, regular performance review and experienced leadership ensure high-quality, consistent delivery across all CRDC locations.

Sponsors contract once with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS), which holds full legal and governance responsibility. This provides a single PI oversight model and one central project management team, significantly simplifying study set-up and delivery. Sponsors work with a single, dedicated CRDC project management team, providing a clear route for communication, escalation and reporting.
