The industry insight programme helps to support and strengthen our relationships with partners from across industry, which helps us to keep pace with medical advances to improve the services and care we provide to patients.
The placements provide on site training to give insight for industry into the patient journey – from diagnosis to treatment – for newly diagnosed patients.
This will enable industry professionals to:
• Understand the condition and treatments available
• Understand the day to day working of relevant physicians for example surgeon, oncologist, pathologist
• Learn how a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) works and how decisions are made
Typical timetable
The Trust will provide two days on-site training at Newcastle Hospitals for an agreed number of individuals to include:
Day 1 – clinic
