The Scottish Cancer Research Network
Cancer in Scotland highlighted that there is significant
evidence that outcomes are improved for those patients
treated in environments where research is the norm or for
those patients who are involved in cancer clinical
trials.
In March 2002 the Minister for Health and Community Care
announced an additional £1 million to support the
development of a Scottish Cancer Research Network (SCRN)
whose aim is to at least double patient recruitment into
cancer clinical trials.
The SCRN has been fully established since December 2003
and has already succeeded in achieving the target to at
least double patient recruitment.
