The University of Manchester This is one of Britains largest and most popular universities, with a distinguished history of academic achievement and an ambitious agenda for the future. The University, with income in excess of £780 million, has 4 Nobel Prize winners amongst its current academic staff, and has embarked on an exciting and bold course, which aims to make it one of the top 25 Universities in the world, as set out in the Universitys strategic vision for 2020. Manchester Cancer Research Centre This was established to bring together the expertise, ambition and resources of partner organisations (which already have formidable individual reputations in the fields of cancer treatment and clinical research). The partner organisations are the University of Manchester, the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

Prof Rob Bristow is the newly appointed Director of the Manchester Cancer Research Centre. Recently, new translational research facilities have been opened to support current activities and develop new areas such as Molecular Pathology. One of the new laboratories, which meets Good Clinical Laboratory Practice standards, improves the ability to assess clinical samples from patients in early phase trials under the required regulations. These activities are supported with major grants from the Experimental Cancer Medicines Centre initiative and the Clinical Research Initiative, the latter increasing capacity for early-phase clinical trials to world-leading levels.

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT The Trust supports the requirements for continuing professional development (CPD) as laid down by the GMC and surgical colleges and is committed to providing time and financial support for these activities. ROLE PLANNING Successful applicants will need to divide their time between research and a moderate clinical commitment; this may involve clinical research and audit activities, including protocol-writing. The post will be based within the Department of Medical Oncology under the supervision of a consultant clinician (Dr Alex Lee). The post-holder will work closely with other members of the respective multidisciplinary teams and will support the consultants, clinical fellows, specialist registrars, and clinical research nurses in managing the respective large disease group clinical trial portfolios.

This will facilitate more rapid clinical decision making, an increase in the number of trials opened, together with increased recruitment of patients into new and existing research protocols. The Fellow will attend 2-3 appropriate clinics per week and multidisciplinary meetings. In addition, they will participate in clinical research meetings and any other relevant trial planning or trial set-up meetings. The Fellow will also spend time reviewing clinical data, writing abstracts/manuscripts, planning new studies and attending educational meetings.

Clinics: Research fellows in Medical Oncology usually attend 2-3 outpatient clinics per week (seeing new referrals, follow-ups and patients on clinical trials) and are expected to undertake the administrative duties associated with the care of these patients. Clinical Governance: Fellows are expected to participate in all relevant aspects of clinical governance, including maintaining up-to-date protocols, guidelines and clinical audit, under the supervision of the Consultants in the team. Education: There are numerous courses organised annually by the School of Oncology at The Christie.

There is the potential to attend International meetings to present research work and fellows are expected to be involved in writing papers and reviews, and will also be required to undergo an annual appraisal. Protocol Development: Fellows may also assist with the revision and development of evidence-based clinical trial protocols for patients. Research: There are excellent opportunities for research within the Department. Fellows are encouraged to contribute to current research projects within the unit and/or set up new projects.
