Growing from the Holdsworth House foundation, into an ambitious research powerhouse.

The Clinical Research Unit at Holdsworth House has been engaged in research endeavors since our Sydney practice was founded. Over time, this semi-autonomous research unit has flourished into one of Sydney's most ambitious and all-encompassing entities.

Throughout its history, Holdsworth House Clinical Research has been actively involved in HIV and infectious diseases research. More recently, we have broadened our scope to encompass dermatology, respiratory medicine, immunology, and general medicine as well.

Operating independently, Holdsworth House Clinical Research benefits from a centralized ethics committee, expediting the application and approval process. This agility also extends to our role as lead site for multi-site applications, ensuring swift and efficient submissions.Swift response times are also a defining aspect of our operations, ensuring the efficient handling of contract and budget negotiations.

Our dedicated Clinical Research team takes great pride in achieving remarkable recruitment and retention rates, consistently striving for the highest levels of patient care and maintaining stringent quality standards. Comprising a team of committed study coordinators, research nurses, and a clinical trial assistant, our Clinical Research team draws upon extensive experience in the realm of clinical trials.

Holdsworth House Research investigators includes both general practitioners and clinical specialists, each undergoing regular training in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and specific study protocols.

Our adept research staff possess IATA certification and are skilled in a range of clinical assessments, including venipuncture, spirometry, and ECGs. GCP training is a regular practice, and proficiency in using various electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs), such as INFORM, Oracle, iMedidata, and Viedoc, is a hallmark of our team.
