Research and clinical trials
Research is vital to improving the care that you receive when you're unwell. You can help improve healthcare by taking part in research studies at our Trust. During your appointment, ask your healthcare professional about research. They'll be happy to tell you about research studies you could be eligible to join.
You may get the chance to take part in research during your cancer treatment.
We're involved in a large number of clinical trials. Our team includes research nurses and clinical trial practitioners and coordinators.
If you join a clinical trial, you might need to come to the hospital more often. There could be extra clinics, scans and blood tests. Some trials provide travel costs and other expenses.
Please ask your nurse specialist if you want more information.
