General

HaemSTAR is a network of clinical hematology registrars within the UK that aims to promote clinical research in non-malignant hematology. The disparity in the number of research studies, treatment options and amount of research funding for non-malignant hematology compared with malignant hematology requires addressing. Here, HaemSTAR Co-lead Pip Nicolson, MA, MB BChir (Cantab), MRCP (UK), from the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK, explains the different ways in which HaemSTAR aims to promote clinical research for non-malignant hematology. Dr Nicolson emphasizes the importance of increasing the involvement of registrars in clinical trials to increase overall research activity.
