5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Annual ... - Monitor

ange of areas from trials of new therapeutic drugs to testing the effectiveness
of new talking therapies. The studies included commercial clinical trials as well
as NIHR studies and including international collaborations, researching new
treatments across all ages in areas including dementia, schizophrenia, ADHD
and self-harm.
The Trust is the top recruiter in the UK for several commercial and NIHR
portfolio studies. As a result of this we have been approached by a number of
pharmaceutical companies to complete feasibility studies for other clinical
trials for Major Depressive Disorder, Dementia and Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). With the success of the current studies two of
our Principal Investigators are acting as Chief Investigators with overall
responsibility for the clinical trial. The number of sub/co-investigators has
increase significantly in this year – with many of our consultants gaining more
experience in clinical trials to become principal investigators. More than 40 of
our medical practitioners are currently participating in a range of clinical trials.
In order to promote frontline engagement in research the Trust has launched
a Research Grant Application Scheme. The first scheme ran in September
2012, for which we received seven applications. Following the success of our
inaugural Research Awareness Day, a second day is planned in June 2012.
