In June 2009, ICON signed a collaborative agreement with the Central Manchester University Hospitals Foundation (CMFT) to develop a purpose built clinical research facility.
The new facility will form part of an ambitious expansion plan being undertaken by Central Manchester University Hospitals Foundation Trust (CMFT) to develop the existing Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) campus. This re-development plan has already delivered Britain’s largest children’s hospital, which is due to open later in 2009. The remainder of the campus development is due for completion by April 2012 and will house an ICON-designed state-of-the-art clinical research unit.
In the interim period we will be transferring our current clinical trial services into dedicated clinical research facilities on the Manchester Royal Infirmary site.
