Research means turning promising ideas or interesting theories into real benefits for our patients.

Biophotonics research

The Biophotonics Research Unit's goals are to pioneer the field of novel optical diagnostics within the clinical environment.

BOSS Trial

The aim of the study is to see whether regular endoscopic surveillance is better than endoscopy at need for detecting early signs of oesophageal cancer in patients diagnosed with Barrett’s oesophagus.

Cancer Clinical Trials

We cover all types of cancers, pre-cancerous and haematological conditions from those with radical intent through to palliative. We work with the haematologists, oncologists, surgeons and allied health professionals involved in cancer diagnosis and treatment as well as a range of supporting departments like the laboratories and radiology.

Clinical Research

We are currently involved in over 100 clinical trials and other studies ranging from testing new surgical devices to trialling new drugs.

Multi Speciality Research Team (MSRT)

The Multi Speciality Research Team (MSRT) supports clinicians in our Trust in delivering research studies across most settings and has supported up to 20 different specialist areas.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Chief and Principal Investigators, all other research personnel who have been delegated roles and responsibilities and the staff of the R&D Department who have the function of research governance for our hospitals must adhere to this set of procedures when undertaking research.

The BRAID study

The purpose of the BRAID trial is to determine whether additional imaging with one of several types of scans is helpful in the early detection of breast cancer.

Working in partnership

They are funded by the Department of Health to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research.
