Email: lucy.andrew@nihr.ac.uk 

In my current role I engage with the Clinical Research Network West Midlands (CRN WM) GP sites and support them with getting involved with commercial research. This project aims to identify any training or mentoring needs and then develop plans to support these GP sites (and secondary care sites if required) to enable them to participate in commercial research studies. The main aim is to increase commercial activity in the West Midlands.
