The MMedSci Oncology at Keele has been specifically designed to enable an introduction to a research programme whilst offering sustained clinical interaction throughout the course
Keele University has a strong track record of clinically translational research, enabled by the close interaction of clinical interventionists with world leading academic researchers
This course benefits entirely from this bench-to-bedside ethos and will support like-minded students across this multidisciplinary environment
The course should serve as a platform to develop a medical research career
As would be expected from such a clinically involved course, much of the teaching takes place at Keele University’s hospital campus located in the Royal Stoke University Hospital, University Hospital of North Midlands (UHNM) Trust
Keele University’s flagship research Institute for Science and Technology in Medicine (ISTM) is integrated with the hospital with the strategically aligned Guy Hilton Research Centre being located directly adjacent to the hospital
Being opened in 2006, this research centre offers patient treatment alongside state-of-the-art equipment and translational research
The centre has enabled research active clinical members to drive cutting-edge research and streamline the pipeline to patient benefit
The Oncology Department located in UHNM provides chemotherapy, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, clinical trials, and lymphoedema and haematology/oncology outpatients to a population of approximately 845,000
It is one of the top ten performing Trusts in the UK for delivering Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT)
This course offers the opportunity to interact closely with both clinical and research environments, with theoretical, practical and research-centric approaches underpinning the delivery of taught modules, clinical attachments and research projects
