Every Patient a research Patient? Evaluating the current state of research in the NHS

Every Patient a research Patient? Evaluating the current state of research in the NHS Daily pressures on the NHS are having a serious impact on its ability to support world leading research into cancer, according to a Cancer Research UK commissioned report from the University of Birmingham.

The report, based on interviews with clinicians, nurses and administrators involved in NHS clinical cancer research**, revealed pockets of excellence in clinical research, but also showed how escalating pressures to deliver routine NHS services are squeezing out time for hospital staff to do vital research.

It also highlights how financial pressures are affecting research infrastructure and the capacity of host organisations to fund additional research costs.
