Where to find the Research Team

The Research office is located within the Learning & Research building here at Southmead Hospital.

Just a stone’s throw away from the Brunel building where most of our patients are treated, Learning & Research is home to an array of facilities that provide medical and healthcare training, teaching accommodation and dedicated study space, as well as a full suite of research facilities.

The building was completed in 2014, alongside the redevelopment of Southmead Hospital, and features sleek interior spaces and a vibrant external design by Avanti Architects. This purpose-built facility represents the Trust’s ongoing commitment to research and is shared between NBT staff and the medical students of Bristol University.

Alongside our office base in Learning & Research, we also manage the adjacent Clinical Research Centre. If you’re taking part in one of our research studies, one of our staff may direct you there as a part of your visit. Our Clinical Research Centre enables us to:

• Look after our research participants in a tranquil and calm environment outside of the main building.
• Bring together researchers from all disciplines from across the Trust, enabling them to work more closely and share best practices.
• Develop the next generation of registered nurses and allied health professionals.
• Give our research participants the best possible experience of taking part in a research study at the same time being given additional advice and support about their diagnosis.

Our team strives to be welcoming, friendly and offer the best possible experience of taking part in research. We look forward to your visit.
