Academic oncology and research
Introduction
In this section of the website, you will find information regarding getting involved in research, academic careers and funding. Much of the clinical research in the UK is undertaken by NHS consultants who do not hold a formal academic position. They design and implement clinical trials and collaborate with scientific colleagues to facilitate translational research. Due to the pressures of service provision, it can be difficult to carve out time for effective research. We are always looking for ways to support you in your research and have put together some resources to help:
The RCR Clinical Oncology Trainee Research Network was established in 2016 as there was a recognition by the CO Academic Committee that many trainees were unaware of academic opportunities available to them. The Trainee Research Network aims to overcome this limitation by providing updates on academic training and funding opportunities from across the UK on an ad-hoc basis.
If you would like to sign up to the Trainee Research Network mailing list to receive these updates, please email [email protected] to register your interest.
