The ECMC team are up in Manchester for a few days at the RDF Conference and tomorrow we will be presenting on all the work we've been doing around study set-up #RDF25

That’s a wrap on an insightful, energising day at the #ECMC2025 Network Meeting! Huge thanks to all speakers, panellists & attendees. Let’s keep the momentum going! 💪

Last but not least! Harriet Unsworth (@cruk-mi.bsky.social) shows how digital health tech can maximise impact and support trial success. From tools to outcomes. #ECMC2025 #DigitalHealth

Now Yemi Akala (Leicester ECMC) takes us through the opportunities and pitfalls of decentralised trial models. What’s the future of remote oncology research? #ECMC2025 #DecentralisedTrials

Next up... Prof. Matthew Sydes (@england.nhs.uk) on unlocking the full potential of healthcare systems data to accelerate early phase trial delivery. #ECMC2025 #DataDrivenResearch

Our first session explores Patient Centric Tech! How can innovation break down barriers to trial access? Steve Nabarro & Ben Hood explore tech that’s designed with patients at its heart. #ECMC2025 #PatientCentric

Now we’re powering through into our late afternoon sessions on how innovation and digital tools can transform patient engagement & trial delivery in early phase research! #ECMC2025 #DigitalTrials

Session C: Equity of Access 🌍
Representation matters. This session looks at how ECMC can improve equity in trial access—through design, engagement, and tackling health inequality. #ECMC2025 #InclusiveResearch

Session B: Translating Policy to Practice 🏛️➡️🧪
Turning national strategy into local success. This breakout dives into real-world approaches to improving trial setup and delivery. #ECMC2025 #ResearchPolicy

Session A: Quantum Leap in Oncology Research 🚀
What breakthroughs will redefine cancer care? Experts explore paradigm-shifting innovations—from T-cells to ADCs to cancer vaccines. #ECMC2025

Our delegates are now breaking out into paralell sessions. We'll be discussing key challenges facing the network and wider clinical research landscape #ECMC2025

How can ECMC build international partnerships? Dr Natalie Cook (@oncocook) & Emma Kinloch (@London_Em1) join the international Consortia conversation on learning globally, acting locally. #ECMC2025 #TrialNetworks

Prof Christophe Massard & Dr Anna Patrikidou (@gustaveroussy.fr) showcase the CLIP network’s approach to early phase trials in France. What can we learn? Let’s find out. #ECMC2025 #GlobalCollaboration

Stuart Lavin (Bayer) & Dimitrios Magkos(@icr.ac.uk) are highlighting how partnership drives innovation in radiopharmaceutical research. #ECMC2025

How can the UK regulatory landscape better support early phase trial delivery? Dr Kingyin Lee (@mhragovuk.bsky.social) & Kate Greenwood (@hralatest.bsky.social) explore challenges and opportunities—followed by an open Q&A. #ECMC2025

How can we support mid-level researchers? What works in training & retention? ECMC Leads share best practices & take action on MRC recommendations. #ECMC2025 #ClinicalAcademicCareers

Prof Patrick Chinnery addresses a pressing issue: the declining UK clinical research workforce. A vital conversation begins now with our ECMC Leads on how to reverse the decline #ECMC2025 #ResearchCareers

Dr Karolin Kroese opened with an overview of the ECMC Network—highlighting growth, progress & the collaborative power of early phase cancer research across the UK. #ECMC2025

We're kicking off today’s ECMC Annual Network Meeting! We’re live with a full agenda focused on innovation, collaboration, and equity in early phase cancer trials. #ECMC2025 #EarlyPhaseTrials

It was fantastic to see Dr. Frankie Fan, Prof. Karen Brown (Leicester ECMC) and their incredible colleagues at #AACR2025! sharing insights on clinical trial recruitment barriers in colorectal polyp prevention in today's late-breaking poster session!
