Halton Clinical Research Unit

Halton Clinical Research Unit (HCRU) has been developed with our research alliance partners Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (LUHFT) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network, North West Coast and was officially opened on 4 March 2021.
