Medicines Evaluation Unit - About Us

About us..

The Medicines Evaluation Unit (MEU) at Wythenshawe was established in 1994 and is a joint venture with the University Hospital Of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust.   The MEU is owned by the North West Lung  Centre Charity and due to the unique way that we operate,  all profits generated by us are reinvested into the research of future treatments for respiratory diseases.

What we do...

We are a specialist respiratory clinical research facility working with the pharmaceutical industry to identify potential new treatments for conditions such as Asthma and COPD (chronic bronchitis and emphysema).  These treatments could be a brand new drug or new combinations of existing medicines which have undergone previous testing in healthy volunteers and now require evaluating in people who suffer from respiratory conditions.
