For many years there has been increasing evidence to indicate that research-active hospitals have better patient outcomes. Work has demonstrated that even patients not involved in clinical research themselves have still benefited from being in research-active hospitals.1 2 Such evidence led the chief medical officer to recommend that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) should include an assessment of research opportunities as a characteristic of a ‘well-led’ organisation. This poster will discuss how research at GOSH has influenced the safety and quality culture within the Trust and the impacted on clinical care using real life examples where research processes, standards and expertise have been used to improve Trust processes and patient outcomes. Examples include sharing of research processes to develop new Trust procedures and how research pathways and gatekeeping have been used to inform governance pathways for treatment under compassionate use or extended access.
