Meet the Divisional Research team

Divisional research team

What is divisional research?

Divisional research consists of five teams: Div Cancer, Div A, Div B, Div C and Div D. They specialise in different medical areas within the Trust, and each has a R&D clinical lead.

Each division has its own portfolio of research studies to explore. They offer opportunities to take part in research to patients, staff and the general public.

How does your team support research in our university-hospital partnership?

The R&D central office team facilitate and support departments within the hospital to set up and run research studies successfully. We work closely with our UHS sponsorship team and the University of Southampton to help local research professionals expand their knowledge and areas of expertise.
