CTAP centres and trial coordinators

The Clinical Trials Accelerator Platform (CTAP) network is made up of 17 CTAP centres and 8 affiliate centres that support a wide range of CF clinical trials across the UK. 

Our CTAP centres each have a dedicated CF trial coordinator, funded through CTAP, who help to set up and deliver clinical trials in their centre. 

Our CTAP affiliate centres work with the wider network to help people in their centres know about trial opportunities and to support them to take part. 

Through this network, we reach about 90% of people with CF living in the UK. Find details below for all of our CTAP centres and CF trial coordinators.
