National cancer specialty objectives 2016-17 Number of LCRNs achieving recruitment to NIHR CRN Portfolio studies in 4 challenging areas which is either improved from 2015/16 or exceeds the following national targets: – Cancer Surgery: 4 recruits per 100,000 population served – Radiotherapy: 6 recruits per 100,000 population served – Rare Cancers (ASR <6): 12 recruits per 100,000 population served – Children & Young People: 3 children per 100,000 population served, and all LCRNs to record the number of 16-25 year olds participating in cancer studies 8

9. Discussion points Current portfolio and recruitment activity – are we maximising opportunities for patients to be referred into centres where trials are running? Studies in set up – what studies do sites have in the pipeline? What should the portfolio for the network look like in one, two, three years? What are the main barriers to research in each organisation either to setting up or recruiting? What can the network do to help? 9
