An overview of current projects:

Stakeholder engagement in the design and implementation of cancer care:

  1. ICANEQUAL –  Reducing inequalities in treatment allocation and cancer care for those diagnosed with liver cancer
  2. PIONEER – Enhancing prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment through the power of big data in Europe; exploring treatment outcomes that matter most to patients with advanced prostate cancer in order to inform the development of prostate cancer Core Outcome Sets. https://prostate-pioneer.eu/
  3. ICANTREAT Nepal (Lead) – Increasing participation in breast cancer screening and treatment in Nepal ICANTREAT Nepal aims to create a firm foundation of knowledge and data in cancer care in Nepal through data audit and stakeholders engagement. Improving Cancer Care & Treatment • I Can Treat

The design and delivery of care and after care - Urology and other long-term conditions

  1. SIMS LTFU – Surgical management of female stress urinary incontinence; embedded qualitative study exploring patients outcome and perceptions.

     5. CATHETER II – Understanding the patient experience of care; embedded qualitative study within a clinical           trial exploring patients’ experience of living with long-term catheter and various catheter washout policies,            and health care professionals' perception of ‘Catheter II’ trial delivery and outcomes. CatheterII (abdn.ac.uk)

The design and implementation of better cancer care

  1. Renal Cancer Core Outcome Sets (R-COS) (Co-applicant) – Core Outcome Sets (COS) for localised, locally advanced, and metastatic stages of kidney cancer. The COMET registration, giving full study details is accessible here: https://www.comet-initiative.org/studies/details/1406
