Research
Since the introduction of the NHS Operating Framework in 2008/09 the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has greatly increased recruitment to trials. Considerable improvement and progress has been achieved in integrating research into clinical service in the Trust and we continually endeavour to drive this forward through the highly motivated research team, both keen research active clinicians and hardworking research nurses and midwife.
