The Christie Foundation Trust Annual Report and Accounts 2021-22

2.3.3 Participation in clinical research The Christie has a long history of supporting research through its 100 plus year history; this was recognised in 2007 with the creation of a dedicated Research and Development Division, now Research and Innovation (R&I) Division. The R&I Division serve a population of 3.2 million and is the largest cancer research network in the country. The success of research is demonstrated by a varied portfolio of studies, strong recruitment of patients on to clinical trials and academic publications with a high impact. Currently the portfolio of Christie research is made up of early phase clinical trials (35%), late phase clinical trials (41%) and other research including basic science, biobank and observational studies (24%). The number of patients receiving health services provided or sub-contracted by The Christie in 2021/22 that were consented during this period to participate in research was 4167. When excluding COVID-19 studies, this represents a 58% increase in consented patients from 2020/21 and a 17% increase from 2019/20. Since 2015/16 there has been a 79% increase in patients consented to research studies at The Christie. 2.3.4 Quality goals and the CQUIN framework Due to the national COVID-19 pandemic, the payment approach was amended.
