The Oral Health and Disease theme funds core staffing infrastructure dedicated to clinical trials in oral health conditions.
Our dedicated team ensures we are best placed to lead and manage clinical trials in this underserved but important area within our state-of-the-art facilities housed within the new UCLH Royal National ENT & Eastman Dental Hospitals.
Our strategic investment in clinical trial infrastructure is reflected in our recruitment figures to NIHR Portfolio studies, which are the highest nationally. Below is a list of studies that are currently open at UCLH.
