My Research Webinar – UK Early Career Researchers Cancer Group
Wednesday 17th January 2024 6-7pm GMT
Register for the Session HERE: https://www.bopa.org.uk/webinarsignupform/
We would like to invite you to join our ‘My Research’ sessions. These sessions are delivered by members that have undertaken an audit or evaluation. They will spend time describing their career pathway and discuss the research methods that they used. There will be time for detailed questions following the talk. These sessions will enable members to learn about quantitative and qualitative methods and the learning may guide and help you in your future projects. We also hope that this will be a good opportunity to learn about different career pathways in cancer pharmacy.
The session will be delivered by:
Dr Harshani Green, clinical oncology fellow, Royal Marsden Hospital London
Dr Matthew Fok, PhD surgical fellow, University of Liverpool
The speakers represent UK ECRC which is originally a National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) initiative, launched 2 years ago. This is a group of >600 multidisciplinary members across the UK, all with an active interest in cancer research and early in our research careers.
Matthew Fok is a PhD surgical fellow based at the University of Liverpool and Harshani Green is a clinical oncology fellow based at the Royal Marsden Hospital London. They are co-leading the group and have a multidisciplinary advisory committee that aims to be representative of the diversity of our group (scientists, nurses, AHP, doctors, psychologists etc). They are all volunteers and run the group in our spare time.
The group aims to be able to offer:
- Opinion surveys (e.g. explore barriers to careers in research, identify areas of interest, gaps in skillsets)
- Increase awareness of opportunities around the UK (aiming to reduce inequality of opportunity)
- Training opportunities, links to industry and a framework to support proposals for early-career investigator-led projects or entrepreneurial ideas.
- Offer contribution to a breadth of research areas and would be potentially suitable for researchers alongside service jobs. Alongside biological/translational and clinical trials research, this could potentially include support with:
- Health Services Research
- Clinical Epidemiology
- Implementation Science
- Health Economics
- Global Health Research
