Dr Rebecca Herbertson

I have worked in Sussex since 2008 and started in my current role as Consultant Medical Oncologist in 2013.  Research has always been an integral part of my clinical practice and I have been PI for >30 commercial and academic Phase 1-3 trials at UH Sussex.  I hope to utilise my experience in running clinical trials with knowledge gained in my KSS NIHR research roles to facilitate further development of research infrastructure, collaborations and partnerships across Sussex. Engaging multi-disciplinary teams, patients and the local community in discussions about research will be a priority for me so that we can demonstrate the importance of clinical trial participation in improving outcomes
