Swansea Trials Unit - Methodological Advice and Support to Clinical Teams

STU offers methodological advice and support to clinical teams, both in designing new trials and in applying for grants. After successful applications we work within trial teams to develop, initiate, conduct, manage, analyse and report funded studies.

Thus we aim to improve the health of the people of Wales and beyond by enhancing the number, progress and quality of trials in health & social care, with particular reference to secondary and emergency care, notably in gastroenterology and mental health. We believe that clinical trials can only be delivered successfully where there is a commitment at every stage to including the experiences and expertise of patients and service users.
