Surgical Trials Centres
The RCS Surgical Trials Centres are embedded within existing surgical clinical trials units. Core funding has been provided to support the development of new surgical trials and trialists.
The Surgical Trials Centres enable surgeons to deliver clinical studies to assess new surgical techniques, and develop breakthroughs in treatment that will help to deliver new and better care to thousands of patients.
