Health Research Partnership - useful links

The Brighton and Sussex Health Partnership (HRP) brings together academic and NHS partners across Sussex to develop shared research infrastructure, capacity and collaborations, align priorities and strategies across the partners to build a shared, unique profile for health and care research in Sussex.

The partnership’s goal is to strengthen and broaden the collaboration between these institutions, and so develop innovative research with the potential for positive, measurable impact on local communities.  

Please use these links to explore our partners’ research activity and find collaborative pathways for your research project. If you can’t see what you’re looking for, get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest acute NHS trusts in the country with a strong track record of success in clinical research. We are the largest contributor to NIHR portfolio studies in Kent, Surrey and Sussex and lead nationally and internationally recognised research in cardiology, oncology, HIV and infectious diseases.  We also have excellent patient and public involvement in research and run a successful programme of NIHR research training.

The Trust has a new Research and Innovation True North ambition putting research at the heart of the Patient First vision, the Trust’s long-term approach to transforming hospital services for the better.  The Trust focuses its continuous improvement work through strategic themes as the components to deliver ‘excellent care every time’. In October 2022 we established a sixth strategic theme, one for research and innovation, reflecting our ambition and potential as a tertiary centre.
