Who is on the WCTU team?

The WCTU is staffed by a range of experts including Statisticians, Clinicians, Qualitative Researchers, Trial Managers, Data Managers, IT / Programmers, Safety Officers and a Quality Assurance Manager.

How do we work?

Our staff work with oncologists, palliative care clinicians and research groups wishing to develop clinical trials or other well designed studies. Proposals for trials are submitted to an appropriate funder, e.g. Cancer Research UK, to consider for funding and if judged to be asking good scientific questions and designed well, it is likely that WCTU will be funded to run the trial. From this point the team at the WCTU will manage all trial procedures working closely with the lead researcher (Chief Investigator).

What does the future hold?

The WCTU will:

• Build a strong research portfolio spanning cancer patient care from prevention to treatment and post-treatment care incorporating patient-centred, economic and scientific evaluations.
• Create a strong research focussed infrastructure to execute studies of high quality, meeting regulatory standards, especially in the fields of cancer therapeutics, primary care and palliative care.
• Communicate quality research evidence to the wider cancer research community and monitor impact on cancer outcomes at a national and international level.
• Facilitate the involvement of cancer patients, carers and other service users to influence the direction of cancer research.
