Clinical Research Solutions is a clinician-led UK CRO for medical device and medtech trials. Three areas where we have signature, repeatable experience: wound care evidence generation, robotic surgery clinical investigation, and medical devices used outside hospital. We add specialisms as our portfolio grows.
Wound care products are often developed with good evidence behind them — but manufacturers now need to generate evidence in a continual cycle, showing how a product performs in everyday NHS practice with real patients, in real care settings. We design clinician-led evaluations that are scientifically robust, practical and affordable to run.
We deliver across primary care, community nursing and patients' own homes, collecting real-world clinical and usability data directly from clinicians and patients — then turning it into evidence manufacturers can use for product development and NHS adoption.
Surgical devices — including robotic platforms — need clinical evidence from the most tightly regulated settings in healthcare. Running a surgical study means aligning regulators, hospital R&D, surgical teams and the sponsor around one protocol, with uncompromising safety oversight throughout.
We deliver this work as a full-service CRO — managing MHRA and ethics approvals, coordinating sponsor and NHS surgical and research teams, and overseeing trial management, safety monitoring and quality assurance. Our experience includes pivotal, first-in-UK investigations of next-generation surgical platforms.
Care is steadily moving out of hospital — into GP surgeries, community clinics and patients' own homes — and the devices that support it need evidence from those same settings. How a device performs on a hospital ward says little about how it performs in a patient's home, or in the hands of a community nurse working alone.
Because we're embedded in NHS primary care through PCRA, we run evaluations and trials directly where these devices are actually used — recruiting through GP practices and community teams, and capturing usability, workflow fit and patient experience from real day-to-day use.
Where appropriate, we use a service evaluation — a lighter-weight way to gather real-world evidence without needing full clinical trial approval. It's how we helped Irish medtech company EziVein turn independent frontline clinician feedback on their venous access device into product development and market strategy, before committing to larger evidence-generation studies.
