INTRODUCTION
West Sussex is home to a fascinating and diverse Health and
Life Sciences industry. Historically, the county’s strengths
have predominantly been in pharmaceuticals. However, over
the years it has developed its position in Medical Technologies
to that of a strong market leader on a global scale.
Accompanying this is a wide range of companies that offer
support services for the industry, such as specialised
component design, clinical trials support and consultancy.
West Sussex is not only the base for an impressive number of
multinationals who chose to locate their UK or Global HQs in
the county, but also hosts a variety of SMEs, focusing on a
broad range of specialisms, all contributing to the next
generation of ground-breaking innovation and science.
We want West Sussex to be the location of choice. This is an
exciting time for this high growth sector and for the Council.
We encourage you to get to know your local industry and
associated partners to spearhead new opportunities from
which we can flourish.
Yours sincerely,
Louise Goldsmith
Leader
West Sussex County Council

The National Institute for Health Research, Clinical Research Facility (CRF)
supports the delivery of early-phase clinical trials. It’s located with a teaching
hospital, so access to patients is seamless. The unit also has a database of

industry. The CRF has an infusion suite for the administration of novel therapies.
The facility allows for the close monitoring of research participants. It has
several clinic rooms and can support studies that require overnight visits. The
CRF is staffed by a team of research Drs, nurses and administrators and
supported by lab technicians and clinical trial pharmacists.
The Brighton and Sussex Clinical Trials Unit (BSCTU) has been established
to support the design, conduct, analysis and publication of clinical trials and
other well-designed studies. There are many advantages to working with a
Clinical Trials Unit and in some cases involvement of a CTU is a requirement for
gaining funding. Studies with CTU involvement are more likely to deliver on time
and budget. This may be because study activities such as trial and data
management can be delegated to experienced staff who can work
collaboratively with the study team so the CI can concentrate their time on the
clinical details of the study.

health labs. This is to help drive forward Surrey’s ‘Engineering for Health’ campaign,
which looks to address the challenges on the expanding ageing population, as well
as the demand for 24/7 care and its impact on the health service. The funding will
help train up highly-skilled graduates, who will be able to develop technologies such
as remote monitoring of patients and apply the analysis of ‘big data’ to personalised
care.
Its health and medical science faculty has 2,000 full time and 2,000 part time
students and has established a new £45 million vet school, one of only eight in the
UK. In the latest UK research excellence framework (REF 2014) they were rated
one of the top eight UK institutions for biosciences, health and veterinary research.
Their research has led to improved understanding and treatment of diabetes,
cancer, addiction, cardiovascular and infectious diseases.
Focusing on the medical trials and care provision side of the life sciences is The
Surrey Clinical Research Centre. Attached to the Royal Surrey County Hospital, it is
both a Clinical Research Facility and Clinical Trials Unit that together cover all
aspects of trial design, set-up, trial conduct, data management, data analysis and
reporting from single-site to global multi-centre trials. While currently specialising in
