Welcome to SENCE Medicines for Children Research Network.

Welcome to the South East, North Central and East (SENCE) Medicines for Children Local Research Network.

SENCE is one of six local research networks spread across England that form the Medicines for Children Research Network. It is part of the Department of Health funded UK Clinical Research Network (UKCRN), which aims to increase high quality research activity across the entire NHS.

SENCE is based on an equal partnership of three London health sectors and is co-ordinated by three organisations:

  1. Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust and The Institute of Child Health (GOSH/ICH), University College London, with The Centre for Paediatric Pharmacy Research (CPPR), a collaboration between the School of Pharmacy (SoP) and GOSH/ICH
  2. Bart's and the London NHS Trust (BLT)
  3. Evelina Children's Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT)

 

Our aims are to deliver a supportive framework to enhance the speed and quality of the research with the safety of children paramount. We aim to do this by:

  • Improving the care of children and their families
  • Streamline the coordination of research
  • Improve the speed of research
  • Maintain and enhance the quality of research
  • Improve the integration of research
  • Widen participation in research
