About us

Royal Papworth Hospital undertakes pioneering and world-class research into heart and lung disease. Through our research, we develop new treatments and improve care for patients. 

Our research is a collaborative effort and we work with other NHS trusts, Universities and Industries to ensure the necessary financial and academic support and expertise is available to make significant medical advances.

As a specialist heart and lung centre, innovation and research is a priority and this is reflected in the number of our staff engaged in research.
