Programme description
This position is suitable for an enthusiastic and research-motivated medical oncologist with an interest in gaining further research and clinical trial experience in lower GI cancers, working alongside medical and clinical oncology consultants. The candidate will be encouraged and supported to actively participate in the research activities of the unit, undertaking an audit, service evaluation or quality improvement project. The aim is to present this work in the form of an abstract and a manuscript. The weekly programme will include two NHS treatment clinics, two research clinics and attendance at two multidisciplinary team meetings. Previous post-holders have been involved in a wide range of projects, including assessing mutations in circulating tumour cells in colorectal cancer, the acceptability of fitness bands in patient assessment, the management of advanced appendiceal cancer, and audits, such as those involving the use of trifluridine/bevacizumab in colorectal cancer. This six-month clinical fellowship is an exciting opportunity for a senior medical trainee to conduct research within the lower GI disease-related group at a world-leading specialist centre.
