Our vision
Our vision is for Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust to be a world leader in clinical research developing new treatments which will as quickly as possible bring improvements for those in our care.
The Reproductive Health and Childbirth Research Team in Leeds wants everyone who is pregnant to have the opportunity to participate in a research study, as participation in clinical trials/studies has been shown to improve health outcomes by 25%.* Therefore when you attend hospital you may be invited to take part in one of our research studies.
