About Us

Our Partners

Collaboration and partnership are at the heart of clinical research; as such our Trust works closely with regional, national and international collaborators to deliver high quality research. Over and above individual collaborations between researchers and their academic and industry colleagues, the principal partnerships we currently hold are:

UoY

University of York

As a member of the Russell Group of research-intensive universities, University of York, are committed to enhancing their position as one of the world's premier institutions for inspirational and life-changing research.  As such, they are our largest research partners.  We therefore, collaboratively maximise all opportunities with University of York by aligning them to the University's research strengths, especially those within the Department of Health Sciences. To develop our research portfolio we work closely with the Research Design Services at University of York and the York Trials Unit.

NIfHR

Research Design Service Yorkshire & Humber

Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), the Research Design Service Yorkshire and Humber (RDS YH) is one of ten regional services across England who each give design and methodological support to health, public health and social care researchers who are developing research applications. The RDS aims to increase the volume and quality of successful grant applications to open and peer reviewed funders. Their advisers provide expert advice and support to help develop and design high quality research proposals. Support is confidential and provided free of charge.

UoY

York Trials Unit

Works in partnership with colleagues to undertake national, scientifically rigorous, randomised trials of the effectiveness and efficiency of existing or potential health care interventions in health care, education and crime and justice.  The York Trials Unit conducts rigorous trials; provides academic leadership for rigorous trial design; provides support to trials external to the Unit and develops new trial methodologies.

HYMS

Hull York Medical School

We partner with the Hull York Medical School in providing clinical placements and training for future doctors at Scarborough and York Hospitals and in providing clinical academic posts.

York St John University

As our neighbouring University relationships will be maximised over the coming years to enhance the collaborations between our two institutions.

CU

Coventry University

Coventry University has a campus within Scarborough Hospital and this relationship will be maximised over the coming years to enhance the collaboration between our two institutions.

NIfHR

NIHR Yorkshire & Humber Clinical Research Network (CRN)

The Clinical Research Network provides the infrastructure that allows high-quality clinical research to take place in the NHS, so that patients can benefit from new and better treatments.  They help researchers to set up clinical studies quickly and effectively; support the life-sciences industry to deliver their research programmes; provide health professionals with research training; and work with patients to ensure their needs are at the very centre of all research activity.  We currently host a generic/cohort team within York and Scarborough Hospitals and so have very close relationships with the CRN that we wish to continue with and grow.

NIfHR

NIHR Yorkshire and Humber Applied Research Collaboration (YHARC)

The Yorkshire and Humber ARC supports people powered research that aims to tackle health inequalities and improve health and well-being in our communities. The themes of healthy childhood, mental health, multimorbidity, older people and urgent care are the priorities that have been identified by NHS partners and the public and will ensure our region will benefit from cutting-edge innovation.  Our hospital is an active partner with ARCYH.

Medipex

Medipex health Care Innovation Hub

Medipex covers Yorkshire & Humber and East Midlands region and it connects the NHS with industry and academia, sharing knowledge of the NHS and commercialisation processes to facilitate the innovation cycle.  They help our Trust identify IP opportunities from its research, to protect out IP interests.

YaHAHSN

Academic Health Sciences Network (AHSN) Yorkshire & Humber

There are 15 AHSNs and they were created to improve health and generate economic growth in our region.  They do this by spreading innovation at pace and scale by acting as a catalyst to connect NHS and academic organisations, local authorities, the third sector and industry.  We are currently working with the AHSN around our Calprotectin study to transform health care.

ICBYH2

NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)

We are working with our local ICB to address population health that our Trust serves.

Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership comprises of NHS organisations, local councils, health and care providers and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

The Partnership is one of 42 Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) which cover England to meet health and care needs across an area, coordinate services and plan in a way that improves population health and reduces inequalities between different groups.
