Who we are and what we do
Finding new or better treatment and care for children is our main purpose. The Children’s Research Team work across all areas of the Children’s Hospital. We support research studies for children and young people from birth up to their 19th birthday.

What research studies could you or your child take part in?
We have a large number of research studies for conditions that affect children, young people, and their families. Some of these studies are paused to recruitment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can click on the links below to find out more about our studies, although we might not be able to include new children on some of these studies at the moment:
What is it like to take part in a research study?
We are running children’s research studies so that we can find better ways to treat and care for children. Many children’s medicines haven’t been tested on children. Research aims to change this by making sure we are treating children with the best possible treatment in the best possible way.
