Research

Research underpins our services at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust by building the evidence base for care practice. 

Evidence shows:

• Research-active trusts delivering clinical research trials and studies have better patient outcomes.

• Patients value the opportunity to participate in research studies and trials as part of their care.

Our commitment to research means improving the care we provide to you.

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is one of the most research-active Mental Health Trusts in England.

We have an award-winning Research Department supporting the delivery of research studies that have implications for practice nationally and internationally, and have been awarded the status of a University Hospital Trust.
