If you were asked to name the leading research hospitals in England, you would probably suggest Oxford, Cambridge or London – the Golden Triangle of medical research. Well, this year something quite remarkable has taken place: the Golden Triangle has pivoted sharply north. To Yorkshire.
Bradford has broken through the golden ceiling and come top of the National Institute of Health Research league with over 25,000 people taking part in its ground-breaking research studies. While you are rubbing your eyes in disbelief, let me tell you how this incredible transition from research desert to research champions has happened. Twenty years ago Bradford Royal Infirmary was a district general hospital lacking any research infrastructure.
Bradford will be celebrating a razzamatazz UK City of Culture in 2025 but with the incredible support from the people of Bradford, it has quietly and diligently been establishing itself as a City of Research. In a world which is swamped with gloomy news, this is a story of Yorkshire pride. Health research is vitally important for all our lives, and for the growth of the UK more generally. It helps to develop innovative treatments and better health care.
