Research for Patient Benefit Working Party

• A UK Clinical Research Collaboration
• to oversee
• extension of research infrastructure in the NHS
  (experimental medicine trials)
• co-ordination and development of research career
  pathways
• development of better regulation practice

11
Guiding principles of UKCRC?

• Engage stakeholders through consultation and
  negotiation rather than representation
• Adopt a solutions-based rather than
  recommendations-based approach to problems
• Build on what is already working well
• Improve communication but not at the cost of
  momentum
• Add value by not taking on issues easily tackled
  by a single partner organisation
• Independence is key!

12
What will UKCRC do?

• Build up the infrastructure
• Co-ordinate clinical research funding
• Build up the research workforce
• Build incentives for research in the NHS
• Streamline the regulatory and governance
  processes

NCCRCD and National Developments Building Up the
Research Infrastructure

• Primary care to be included from the start
• Primary care infrastructure needs to support
  clinical trials and other well designed studies
• PCRNs as they presently exist are unlikely to
  support the objectives of UK CRC
• PCAUs are key to supporting the PCRNs
• MRC GPRF
• Capacity development is essential
• Need a national integrated infrastructure model
  to support the UKCRC
• DH/MRC Working Party
• Consultation and communication
