An exciting new collaboration between the University of Portsmouth and Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust (PHT) has been launched that will support more health research studies locally. Portsmouth Technologies Trials Unit (PTTU) will combine resources from UoP and PHT to provide the skilled staff and infrastructure to develop and deliver clinical research projects for the benefit of patients and the community.

PTTU will support all stages of the research project lifecycle, from developing research questions that are relevant to the NHS and patients, designing clinical investigations and obtaining funding, as well as all aspects of study delivery and dissemination.

If you are thinking about developing health research studies, or just want to find out more about how the PTTU will work, please visit us at this drop-in session on Tuesday 11th September – any time between 12:00 and 15:00 – in the Richmond Building Boardroom. Please book your place so we have an idea of numbers. This will be your opportunity to:

• Find out who’s who in the PTTU

• Learn about the support available from the PTTU and how to access it

• Discuss ideas you may have for potential studies that the PTTU could support
