We also work in partnership with the Oxford Health Clinical Research Facility, the Mental Health Mental Health and Community Health Research Delivery Teams, t the University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry and Oxford University Hospitals NIHR Clinical Research Network - which enables us to use our specialist skills and contribute to a wider range of clinical research.
