North West E Health: Transforming digital clinical trials at the Bright Building
By Bruntwood SciTech
North West E Health is revolutionising how clinical trials are run and need access to world-class life science and healthcare infrastructure. Born out of a successful collaboration between the NHS and the University of Manchester, they chose to base their operations at the Bright Building within Manchester Science Park.
Being strategically positioned right across the road from renowned academic and clinical experts has provides unparalleled, everyday opportunities for collaboration.
Integrating into our dynamic health tech ecosystem has empowered their clinical delivery teams to fast-track drug availability and completely modernise patient recruitment for the future of medicine.

The industry has realised that you can do trials in a different way; the pandemic has taught us that, and we're right at the forefront of all of those technologies, and we've got a lot of evidence and track record behind us. North West E Health has been around for quite a while. We started out as a collaboration between the NHS and the University of Manchester and then became a company in 2016.
We specialise in using electronic health resources to run clinical trials in a very novel way. We offer a recruitment and identification service called Farsight. In the middle of all that is a really interesting clinical delivery team of 50 nurses that go out there and help doctors recruit patients into trials more quickly, more efficiently, which means empowering clinical trial delivery, making drugs come to people who need it faster.
So based here at Manchester Science Park, it's a great place for us. We've got the university and hospital right across the road. One of the most important aspects of our work is collaborating with academia and industry. It's important because it allows us insights and access to all different kinds of data and experts to help us refine and improve our offering to sponsors and ultimately to patients.
It's really easy just to walk across the road to find a clinician who's got a particular expertise in the trial that we might want to do. Having all of that on our doorstep makes a massive difference to our everyday work, and we wouldn't want to be without that. So we see more technology, we've got a lot of things that are coming out from our own technology platforms, and I think it's a very bright future. Nobody's going to be doing trials in a traditional way anymore; they're going to be using at least some of the technologies that we have developed.
