NDWRH Clinical Research Group

We are based in the Women's Centre of the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. The Oxford Biomedical Research Centre funded the refurbishment of Level 4 of the Women’s Centre to create an OSPREA Translational Research Centre, alongside the NHS Antenatal Ultrasound Unit. This purpose-built space is used for ultrasound scanning, the collection and storage of blood samples and carrying out observational and interventional studies.
