Surgical Specialty Leads
Surgical Specialty Leads (SSLs) have responsibility both for the development of clinical networks to deliver multi-centre studies as well as ensuring that the studies are relevant to their subspecialty and their patients.
Surgical Specialty Leads work with the Surgical Trials Centres (STCs) to develop clinical networks, train surgical investigators and deliver the clinical trials in a timely fashion. Each SSL will be affiliated to a specialist surgical society, with whom they will work to develop the clinical trials and clinical networks.
