University of Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit (BCTU)

IMPORTANT UPDATES

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been changes to the recruitment of some of our trials. Please check the status of individual trials on the trial homepage.

We are now home-based during the COVID-19 outbreak but available and working. Responses may however take longer than normal as staff may be working altered hours but we are cross covering trials as required and urgent matters will be dealt with promptly. Please do not contact our usual office/landline number and instead email the relevant trial mailbox or named trial contact.

The Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit (BCTU) has a long and established track record of offering the scientific, technical and computing expertise needed to support clinical trial research from conception to completion.
