Research is an important part of the work undertaken in the Bradford Renal Unit. Our focus is on clinical research, looking at treatment interventions that may improve the quality, safety and experience of care we provide for our patients. We have established a portfolio of local, regional, national and international projects.

The renal research team is based at St Luke’s hospital where we are involved in a variety of research studies involving patients from three main areas- nephrology, transplantation and dialysis, and our research activity covers all sites.
