We are involved in a number of research projects which are funded partially through grants and partially through charitable funds. We also support several charities through fundraising.
The local research funds include the Gastrointestinal Trials Fund which helps with current research projects into Stem Cells and cancer, quality of life in cancer surgery and many other projects. Contact Karen Turner for further details on 01603 287583
