Research Interest Group (RIG)

⭐ Develop and build research activity and capacity within LCNUK
⭐ Help improve the evidence to support our practice

The Research Interest Group (RIG) is a great place to tap into peer support, stay abreast of cutting-edge research, and collectively address barriers hindering access to clinical trial participation.

Together, we can support the development of research priorities in lung cancer nursing, explore innovative research designs, and foster research partnerships across industry and academia.

The RIG is led and chaired by Suriya Kirkpatrick.
The group meet 4-6 times per year for a short meeting, which usually lasts for 1-1.5 hours and is held virtually via Microsoft Teams.
