Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is a need to improve accessibility to research and clinical trials within the NHS. Key groups are consistently under-represented in research: those from minority ethnic backgrounds, those with lower socio-economic status and those with impaired capacity. This leads to inequality of healthcare and an inequality of patient experience. Increasing access to research would not only broaden research opportunities and bridge gaps in health equality; diverse research representation means better understanding of disease mechanisms and greater generalisability of findings across the patient population. There are well described socio-economic issues across the region that we serve within Cheshire and Merseyside. This brings health challenges for patients. Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is a large networked cancer centre serving Cheshire and Merseyside using a hub model. Research is a core strategic theme; it is hugely important that we understand not only the areas and hotspots of cancer across the region, but also that our patients with those cancers can access a portfolio of research that serves a distinct patient need. Currently there is a lack of such triangulated information within the Trust, which may mean that patient need remains unmet. Therefore the research is designed to understand any barriers that patients may have in accessing research, in tandem with a demographic review and mapping of patient referral and access to the current trials portfolio. This will lead to a truly patient centred approach in accessing research.
