“UKRD brings research and development leaders together to be powerful influencers of change, working collaboratively to bring a positive impact on health and care research for the benefit of patients and communities across the UK.”
We are a growing and diverse group that aspires to cover all four nations in the UK and all types of health and care settings, because we know that our shared expertise and experience forms a strong evidence base for the delivery of high quality, safe and effective clinical research.

About UKRD
Driving evidence-based change within the NHS
Research has the power to offer hope and to transform lives, a vision we all share regardless of organisational boundaries or variations in process. The continuing pressure on health and care services alongside the complexities and interdependencies of the research system present a unique challenge, and one that highlights the value of UKRD as a community. Working together we can share ideas and learning, celebrate successes and motivate each other to search for better ways to do things, to be more inclusive, to continue to innovate and remain focused on our shared belief that there will always be capacity for growth in research.
