Shining a Spotlight on real users of EDGE
We shine a spotlight on Donna Foster from The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust who shares how EDGE helped identify gaps in research finance tracking. The Trust implemented EDGE finance tools to capture study activity and improve cost recovery and within three months, the department recovered over £100,000 in previously unclaimed income, improved invoicing efficiency and achieved its highest-ever research income during 2024/25.
We shine a spotlight on Shyam Thakrar from London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. He shares how he has helped transform LNWH’s clinical trials pharmacy processes by expanding EDGE Finance, replacing paper-based records and spreadsheets. The change has improved cost recovery, reduced duplication and errors, strengthened financial forecasting and audit trails, and freed pharmacy staff from administrative tasks.
We shine a spotlight on Victoria Douglas, Research Governance Manager from Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust. Vicky shares how through a phased implementation of EDGE Finance, improved collaboration and staff engagement, the Trust has recovered over £42,000 in missed income. They also increased invoice capture from approximately £147,000 to over £415,000 and strengthened financial oversight across almost 200 active studies.
