Site identification

Site selection is key to delivering high quality research. Our site identification service enables you to gather expressions of interest from a range of sites across the United Kingdom (UK) to take part in your study.

All you need to do is contact your Local Clinical Research Network (LCRN) and they will liaise with all 15 LCRNs across England to seek expressions of interest and provide you with potential sites for your study. Following this, you can review the responses from any  interested research sites and engage directly with them for more in-depth site selection discussions.

Our national approach to site selection gives you up-to-date insight into the most appropriate sites to deliver your study, while minimising the resource you need to identify interested sites.

To access this support, please contact your Local Clinical Research Network directly.
