At University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, we are proud to be a vibrant hub for clinical research. By recruiting from a richly diverse population that reflects the communities we serve, we strengthen the scientific quality of studies, improve generalisability of findings, and help ensure new diagnostics and treatments work for everyone.
Why choose our organisation?
- Diverse participant pool: We serve communities with a wide range of ages, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and health conditions. This diversity enables representative studies that reduce bias and enhance external validity.
- Established monitoring processes: We routinely collect and review demographic data from our participants to find out who is and isn’t taking part in research. This helps us identify communities where we need to build trusted relationships, increasing both confidence in and access to research.
- Community engagement: As part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System Research Engagement Network we collaborate with regional partners to engage communities underserved by research and improve diversity in research participation.
