About the NSRSC

The RCSI National Surgical Research Support Centre (NSRSC) was set up to establish an all-island Irish surgical trial network to enhance the collaboration and coordination of surgical research and trial activity in Ireland.

Our aim is to encourage and facilitate surgical trials and research to embed a culture of research in clinical practice, while establishing a trial portfolio to generate high-quality evidence to inform policy and set professional standards and guidelines for Irish surgery to improve patient outcomes.

The NSRSC provides every patient access to high quality surgical trials and innovative cutting-edge technology across the island of Ireland. We provide training and education to surgical trainees to produce the next generation of academic leaders in surgery and showcase surgical trial activity to establish Ireland as an attractive place to conduct innovative surgical trials.
