Clinical trials

What is clinical research?

Clinical research is essential to developing knowledge that will increase the understanding, prevention, diagnosis or treatment of illnesses.
It involves the use of human subjects, who must always be volunteers and may or may not be ill.

Clinical research usually takes place within the hospital but can also be completed by independent doctors or in specialised centres. Clinical research is an essential part of ensuring that patients, and indeed all people, can benefit from medical progress.

What kind of research is undertaken at the Hôpital Franco-Britannique?

The Hôpital Franco-Britannique is involved in medical research in partnership with a number of national and international research groups. This cooperation allows the hospital to participate in the elaboration of recommendations by academic societies and to improve its patient care.
