Innovative Models for Accelerated Clinical Trial Delivery: Insights from the UK Vaccine Innovation Pathway and Greater Manchester’s Research Ecosystem

The UK’s research delivery landscape is evolving to meet the growing demand for faster, more efficient, and patient-centered clinical trials. The UK Vaccine Innovation Pathway (VIP) and Greater Manchester’s research ecosystem are pioneering innovative models that enhance trial setup, recruitment, and delivery by leveraging new technologies, decentralised approaches, and collaborative frameworks. This session at the R&D Forum’s Innovative Delivery Models stream will showcase real-world case studies, including the accelerated setup of mRNA vaccine studies and novel out-of-hospital recruitment pathways. We will highlight how cross-sector partnerships, regulatory agility, and adaptive infrastructure are reshaping clinical research delivery, ensuring greater inclusivity, efficiency, and scalability. Attendees will gain actionable insights into the strategies that are driving faster and more accessible research, ultimately transforming the UK’s clinical trial ecosystem.
