Areas of Interest

The following is a list of areas of interest for the NICRN. However this list is not exhaustive as the NICRN will consider good quality studies from other areas.

  • Dementia
  • Diabetes
  • Cardiovascular
  • Childrens
  • Critical Care
  • Primary Care
  • Respiratory
  • Stroke
  • Vision

A formal process is required to ensure that the finite resources of the NICRN are used in a coherent and strategic manner for the benefit of the HSC. Therefore before a study is included in the NICRN portfolio it will have to be assessed against the following criteria

  • Is the study fully funded?
  • Has a sponsor been identified?
  • Has the study had robust Peer Review?
  • Is the clinical research of clear value to the Health Service?
  • Does the study align with NICRN clinical and strategic priorities?
  • Is it feasible for the study to be conducted at one or more NICRN centres?
