For urologists & clinical/basic science researchers

The new Clinical Research Toolkit is made up of a series of articles from the Journal of Clinical Urology (JCU), and is designed primarily for urologists based in the UK who want to establish a practical interest in clinical research.

The toolkit is designed primarily for urologists based in the UK who wish to establish a practical interest in clinical research. We hope these articles will help to equip clinicians with the skills to participate in effective clinical research such that it becomes a routine part of our NHS practice. They may be also be helpful to clinical and basic science researchers in other disciplines.

Involvement in research can vary from introducing the idea of trial participation to patients under our care and identifying them to local research teams, to working in laboratory research, to acting as a chief investigator for a regional or national clinical trial.
