The Stroke Research Network is part of the NIHR Clinical Research Network. It supports randomised controlled trials and other high quality studies aiming to better understand and improve treatment in all aspects of stroke. We play an active role in this network and recruit patients to many different clinical studies led from both Cambridge and elsewhere.

Addenbrooke’s Hospital has been awarded a Hyperacute Stroke Research Centre as part of the Network as this allows us to recruit patients to trials trying to improve outcome within the first few hours of stroke onset.
