Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The South East Scottish Cancer Research Network (SESCRN) covers Borders, Dumfries & Galloway, Fife and Lothian Health Board areas, with a population of just over 1.4 million and supports cancer research in all these regions.
We want to empower Scotland against cancer through research by providing local cancer care, enabling access to clear information, and clinical research support regarding research studies across a range of disease sites.
We will support patients and their families to understand clinical research and their potential roles within it with help from our network of dedicated health professionals.
The SESCRN brings together many partners undertaking research such as:
- Scottish Cancer Research Network (SCRN)
- Cancer Research UK (CRUK)
- Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC)
- Medical Research Council (MRC)
- Human Genetics Unit (HGU)
- University of Edinburgh (U of E)
Working in partnership with these organisations allows us to provide a research service across the board, from bench work to bed side, delivering the latest treatments in which all staff work to the same procedures and standards to provide a world class service for our patients.
WHO WE ARE
SESCRN has a highly trained and motivational work force consisting of professionals within the medical, nursing, radiography, bio-chemistry, pharmacy, data management and administrative departments of each hospital. Each member of the team is vital to the process of delivering the most up to date clinical studies to our patients throughout the South East of Scotland.
