We have started construction on iREACH Health, a new world-class #ClinicalResearch centre on the Lisburn Road. It is set to open in 2027 and will create up to 1,000 jobs and generate an additional £733 million GDP for #NorthernIreland. The new centre, which is one of three innovation centres delivered through @QUBCityDeal, will bring all the essential parts of the #ClinicalTrial ecosystem together in one space, enhancing #PatientCare and reinforcing Northern Ireland's position as a region of choice for clinical trials. Key representatives from government, #Healthcare and industry joined us for a site visit today, including @Economy_NI Minister Dr @CArchibald_SF and @healthdpt Minister @mikenesbittni. “iREACH Health signifies a new era for clinical trials in Northern Ireland, bringing together world-class expertise and cutting-edge facilities to accelerate the development and deployment of new #MedicalTreatments.” “Through iREACH Health, Queen’s is delighted to further the partnership with the @BelfastTrust, reinforcing our shared commitment to tackling healthcare challenges and improving #PopulationHealth through world-leading #Research. Queen’s has a long history of leading on #HealthcareInnovation throughout our 180-year history and iREACH Health will help drive this legacy forward.” (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor) Click here to find out more: ow.ly/hyiS50V2Rfg @belfastcc | @NIOgov | @InvestNI | @micky_murray
