How We Work

The NIHR Leeds CRF team is led by Clinical Director, Professor Chris Twelves and Deputy Director, Dr Kevin Franks, supported by the CRF Manager, Dr Helen Radford . The CRF senior management team provides strategic leadership, operational management and quality assurance to ensure our activities are carried out to the highest possible standards and meet UK regulatory and governance requirements.

Our CRFs are all based in a single Trust, and each CRF site has a local lead.

These are;

As one of the largest UK NHS Trusts we have a full range of multidisciplinary, clinical expertise across disease and age groups and we can deliver a wide range of experimental and translational medicine studies. Clinical contacts can be made through the CRF management team – see our contact page.
