Research FIRST (Birmingham Health Partners)

Delivered through Birmingham Health Partners (BHP) and the Institute of Translational Medicine (ITM), Research FIRST provides a flexible and innovative approach to supporting non-CTIMP research and other projects (for example, Clinical Audits, Service Evaluations and Management Databases). The service is delivered by the core team based at the ITM, with direct access to clinical, academic and professional support services support from across the BHP ecosystem, and is designed to be flexible and tailored to the requirements of individual teams and/or projects. The service complements the existing research infrastructure across BHP and ensures that all projects are delivered to a high standard in a timely manner whilst complying with all relevant regulations and guidelines (including GCP, GDPR and individual sponsor’s Quality Management Systems).
