NIHR HRCs
NIHR HRCs
The NIHR has awarded almost £42 million to establish 14 HealthTech Research Centres (HRCs), each hosted by an NHS Trust in England.
The HRCs are centres of excellence that accelerate the development of healthcare technologies to improve the effectiveness and quality of health and care services.
The HRCs work with businesses, academics, healthcare professionals, and patients to support the development and adoption of medical devices, diagnostics, and digital technologies.
The 14 NIHR HRCs were launched on 01 April 2024 and replace the previous 11 NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostic Co-operatives (MICs), which came to an end in March 2024.
The NIHR HRC in Paediatrics and Child Health is hosted by Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust and is the only HRC dedicated to children and young people.
