THE Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has seen an increase in the number of people taking part in clinical trials, according to figures from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
In 2017/18, there were 12,489 participants - an increase of 38 per cent on 2016/17.
This means it ranks in the top 10 for recruiting trusts in all studies.
Professor John Wright, Director of Bradford Institute for Health Research (pictured), said: “This is an amazing achievement for Bradford and demonstrates the commitment from our doctors and nurses and the support from our patients to be a City of Research.
“Ten years ago Bradford was playing non-league for medical research and today we are in the top half of the premiership."
In Yorkshire and the Humber, there was an increase of 10,000 participants from April 2017 to March 2018.
