Surgery

In collaboration with the Royal College of Surgeons, surgical research covers all disciplines including; breast, cardiothoracic, colorectal, general, head and neck, hepatobiliary, neurosurgery, plastic and hand surgery, transplantation, emergency and trauma surgery, gastrointestinal, urology and vascular surgery.

The surgical specialty in the research portfolio delivers complex interventional trials, including the evaluation of medical devices and techniques for the delivery of patient care, where surgical intervention forms at least one of the study arms.

There are many cross cutting themes between the surgical specialty and cancer, cardio, trauma and emergency and musculoskeletal disorders.
