Over one million patients per year are cared for across our eight hospitals and community services, and we undertake research in a diverse range of clinical areas. Our patients are regularly the first-in-the-world to have the opportunity to trial new treatments through research, and even more are first in the UK. We work closely with The University of Manchester, NHS Trusts in Greater Manchester and Health Innovation Manchester and our research is supported by the National Institute for Health Research.
