Welcome to the Perioperative Platform (PROTECT) trial

PROTECT is a multi-centre multi-factorial platform trial designed to test multiple research questions for people undergoing surgery, or within a surgical care pathway in the United Kingdom.

The PROTECT central management team is based at Queen Mary University of London, in the United Kingdom.

Please contact us if you have any questions and follow us on @PROTECTplatform or @protectplatform.bsky.social for new updates about the project.

The PROTECT platform received confirmation of sponsorship in early 2026 and we are in the process of opening research locations for our first three research questions.

Best wishes,
The PROTECT platform team.
