The NIHR King’s Clinical Research Facility (CRF) opened in November 2012.
The building comprises two main research areas within King’s College Hospital’s Cheyne Wing. The Clinical Research Facility spans three floors with a further standalone unit, the Clinical Trials Facility. Each area has been designed and built to complement the other in terms of the ability to offer a unique and neutral space to carry out trials in a dedicated research setting.
The King’s CRF aims to:
- facilitate the work of established investigators,
- encourage and support the use of the facilities by new investigators
- and provide an environment in which the pharmaceutical industry will collaborate actively with our clinical investigators.
We can accommodate all types of trials ranging from day and overnight studies to longer term stays.
The Clinical Research Facility is academically supported by King’s Health Partners, a pioneering collaboration between King’s College London, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
The facility is funded directly through a National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR) grant and indirectly through the Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC).
