Our mission: to promote clinical research excellence for the health and wealth of Lothian and Scotland

ACCORD is a partnership between the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian and is the first port of call for researchers in Edinburgh and Lothian planning a clinical research study.
We provide a streamlined support service for the clinical research community from study inception to study close down and are here to help our researchers and our organisations meet research governance and regulatory requirements, ensuring we all fulfil legal, ethical and scientific obligations to the healthcare research process.
