About the NIHR King's Clinical Research Facility 

The NIHR King's Clinical Research Facility (CRF) is part of the NIHR and hosted by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

The NIHR King's CRF is a purpose-built facility located at King's College Hospital which supports clinical trials in mental health, neurology, general and acute medicine.

Clinical Research Facilities exist to help speed up the translation of scientific advances for the benefit of patients and we are one of 28 CRFs that received £161 million funding from the NIHR to support early-phase and complex studies.
