Research at ECCH

A Research Active Organisation

We believe in the importance of research to promote and deliver better healthcare to our patients.

Research is a fundamental part of healthcare and helps to improve service delivery.

Health research can benefit everyone

 It can help to provide the best possible care for you, your loved ones and for future generations.

See below some of our current research studies!

CHELsea II

This study is being undertaken at Beccles hospital in partnership with the team from St Elizabeth’s Hospice – more information about this study can be found here:

CHELsea II trial | University of Surrey


VenUS 6

Our tissue viability nurses in partnership with our leg ulcer clinics are working hard to identify potential participants who may be eligible to take part in this NIHR Funded trial to compare different compression therapies. This will help people make more informed treatment choices in the future.

This project is funded by the National Institute for Health and Research Health Technology Assessment Programme (project number 12/86/25). the views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.


REDUCE

Our podiatry team are identifying diabetic patients who are ready to be discharged from the service as their foot ulcers have healed. Those that are eligible are then invited to take part in the REDUCE programme clinical trial. The research being undertaken will test a new treatment to help patients get back on their feet after a foot ulcer.


You can ask our clinical teams if there are any current research opportunities you can take part in.
