Research nurses
The Christie is at the forefront of clinical research and strongly believes in giving our patients the opportunity to participate in research.
During your care, you may be approached by your consultant or one of the research team to tell you about opportunities available to you to participate in research both in clinical trials and research studies.
If you wish to know more about clinical research, please contact the sarcoma research team by email on the-christie.rtro@nhs.net or by phone on 0161 918 2309.
