Facilities
Stanmore Clinical Research Centre
The Stanmore Clinical Research Centre (SCRC), which is part of the R&D Infrastructure supports development of project ideas, but can also support recruitment of patients into studies for externally sponsored research. Our set-up turn-around times are low, and we aim to deliver on time. The facility boasts Research Co-ordinators/nurses and a site specifically for study appointments with patients.
Gait Analysis Laboratory
The RNOH has a Motion Analysis Laboratory situated in the Centre for Human Performance on the Stanmore site. The laboratory incorporates state- of-the-art technology to give comprehensive biomechanical data for both clinical and research purposes.
Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Science
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital has a long established association with the Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Science, UCL. This strong interaction between clinicians and scientists has resulted in many of the advances which have contributed to improve the quality of life for patients with complex orthopaedic disease.
