Active research protocols are reviewed regularly and our aim is to maximise the number of patients on current studies. In addition to major studies both investigator lead and other multicentre studies, a large number of studies undertaken by junior trainees utilising Peter Mac’s extensive patient numbers and databases are undertaken.
