The unit

The STAMINA research unit has been successfully undertaking large multi-centre clinical trials of complex behavioural interventions in NHS cancer populations for over a decade. We are experts in clinical trial performance, intervention design, development, and evaluation. We have a mix of clinical and non-clinical staff and take whole team approach to project support. This has been a key feature of our success. We proactively look to develop talented researchers from within our unit offering support and mentoring to talented and ambitious individuals who want to work hard and gain the trust of the team. Grade 7 researchers that have performed exceptionally have been moved to Grade 8 roles previously and have since gone on to win their own NIHR funding.

The School of Health and Social Care delivers a well-established, large and diverse portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate and degree apprenticeship courses leading to registration in 14 different professions. These include Nursing (all fields), Midwifery, Social Work, Paramedic Science, Operating Department Practitioner, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Diagnostic Radiography, Radiotherapy and Oncology, Dietetics and Art Psychotherapy. We support practitioners to continue to develop their professional roles through our extensive continuing professional development portfolio, our graduates working in local, national, and international health and social care sectors. Our research portfolio is cutting edge and applied, undertaking challenge-led collaborative interdisciplinary research, innovation and knowledge exchange to inform and transform health and social care.
