Centre for Trials Research

Research themes

We work collaboratively with the public, partners in academia, and researchers across a wide range of research areas.

We operate across the four main themes of behaviour change, cancer, children and young people, and infections.

We currently have three emerging themes of medical devices, methods and the older person.

REF - Education

Behaviour change

We are developing and testing interventions to benefit hard to reach and under-researched populations, including patients with Huntington's Disease and people with learning disabilities.
