"Translating research into practice and practice into research: Researchers' and healthcare professionals' views of cancer genetics activities in the UK"


Dr Nina Hallowell Public Health Sciences, University of Edinburgh
 
Research and clinical care are frequently understood as separate activities, deriving from very different motivations. Interventions carried out as clinical care are personalised; they are motivated by individual patients’ needs and any risks are justified by anticipated benefits for the patient. In this talk Dr Hallowell discusses some of the findings of a recent UK based study which sought to describe clinical and academic researchers’ understanding of the relationship between research and clinical care within the subspecialty of cancer genetics.
