Richard Wilson

Dr Richard Wilson leads the Northern Ireland Cancer Trials Network, jointly funded by Cancer Research UK and the Public Health Agency for Northern Ireland. The Network aims to give all cancer patients in the province access to a variety of clinical trials.

Clinical trials are vital for developing new cancer treatments and ways to prevent or detect the disease. Cancer Research UK also helps to fund five dedicated Clinical Research Nurses based in cancer units across Northern Ireland, providing information about trials and helping patients who want to get involved.
