With the team you will help to conduct and deliver this mixed methods, multi-site study which consists of a systematic review, focus groups with lung cancer patients, carers, and members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team. You will be involved in the development of a research recruitment tool for lung cancer nurses to facilitate the recruitment of lung cancer patients into clinical trials and the conduct of a pilot study to test the effectiveness and acceptability of the research recruitment tool across four NHS trusts in the UK.
