In this episode we speak to Dr Karin Purshouse, current Chair of the National Oncology Trainee Collaborative for Healthcare Research. 
We hear about the origins of the organisation and how it has expanded since 2019, with registrar representation in all regions in the UK.
NOTCH excels in running national multicentre retrospective cohort studies, generating real world evidence with international impact. The value is particularly evident in rare/difficult to study tumour sites/patient groups or where randomised control data is unlikely to ever be generated.
Participation offers trainees tangible experience in research as well as invaluable networking opportunities with like-minded, research active registrars and consultants around the country. 
NOTCH are currently looking for interested trainees to join the Board, no prior experience is necessary.
Project proposal submissions are welcome through out the year, expressions of interest are also encouraged as the NOTCH team has a wealth of experience in helping set up and run successful multicentre projects.
