**_Treatments (70% of the role) _**

**You will get the opportunity to lead the development of an internal research report on the use of robotic surgery for the treatment of cancer in England. Robotic surgery is an exciting, innovative area that could have significant positive impacts on the NHS, with the potential to increase capacity for the healthcare system by improving surgery efficiency and reducing patient recovery times. The area has been consistently gaining interest in recent years and we discuss this in our recently published **Programme for UK Government: Longer, better lives. **It also links to an important area of CRUK’s strategy to support the translation of new innovations to patients and ensure that this is done in an equitable way.**

**The overall aim of the project report is to inform CRUK's policy development around robotic surgery, identify where CRUK should focus future work, and to continue building on our Programme for Government and the mission set to Government to ‘Bring tests, treatments and innovations to patients more quickly’.**

**As robotic surgery is an emerging, innovative treatment area, this project will involve researching the enablers and barriers to the adoption of robotic surgery in England, exploring where there are potential inequalities in access, developing a greater understanding of the policy landscape in this area, and identifying where CRUK could contribute a valuable cancer specific perspective. The project will help us develop our policy lines on robotic surgery and identify where policy change is needed to help support its adoption. The role will involve**:
**Research (desk-based, internal and external stakeholder engagement, and monitoring of the policy environment) Producing appropriate policy outputs for the project, adapted for differences audiences (e.g. internal policy scoping report, briefings senior managers)
**This project will help demonstrate your policy experience and skills to prospective employers, build your professional network within health policy, and make a lasting impact towards Cancer Research UK’s influencing work on the adoption and impact of innovations within the NHS.
**_Health policy election work (30% of the role) _**

**Building on our Programme for Government we are launching a campaign in the lead up to the next general election to ensure that cancer is a priority for all political parties. To support this work, you will work with members across the policy and public affairs teams to ensure that our latest Programme for Government policy products are fed into this campaign. This will include designing briefings and explainers for MPs and party officials and gaining an understanding of how to adapt policy documents for different audiences. This work will give you the opportunity to work on areas we first set out in the Programme for Government including cancer diagnostics and national leadership for cancer and clinical research.**
