Welcome to the Glasgow Clinical Research Facility Education Unit

The unit was established in April 2006 in response to the legislation relating to the conduct of Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products in the UK and is supported by the Chief Scientist Office.

We work closely with our partners in the NHS, Higher Education Institutes and Research & Development departments to provide a service that is tailored to meet the needs of researchers and associated staff.

The Glasgow Clinical Research Facility together with NHS Research & Development and the Robertson Centre for Biostatistics, form the Glasgow Clinical Trials Unit.
