Abstract

The amount of research being performed in children, in particular pharmacological research, is lower than in adults, which is in direct contrast to the aims of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. A Pediatric Clinical Research Center (PCRC) has been established at Sahlgrenska University Hospital with the aim of supporting clinical research in children and adolescents. The number of inquiries and initiated clinical studies at PCRC has increased since the start in 2016. In addition, there is a need for regional and national infrastructures for paediatric clinical research and a national network for paediatric clinical studies. CONCLUSION: Sahlgrenska University Hospital has established an infrastructure to support paediatric research and to work with national networks and infrastructures.
