The most recent findings of an analysis of biomedical and health research in England commissioned by the Department of Health1, demonstrated that our Trust continues to be the most highly research active NHS organisation in cardiovascular and respiratory disease; as reflected by its 8.34% share of highly cited publications (HCPs) in these areas. By the same token, in both disease areas we are the second most highly research active of any organisation; the first being our academic partner the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London (see tables below).
