NIHR surgery trials

The Annals exists in part to keep surgeons up to date with advances in surgical research. We also have a responsibility to inform our readers of research opportunities that they may wish to join. Professor John Scholefield heads the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) National Surgery Specialty Group and he has asked us to publish regular updates of surgical research activity taking place across the UK. We are pleased to do so and provide some additional information below.
