About Us

THE STEER (Surgical Trainees in East of England Research) collaborative group is a regional trainee-led research group set up in early 2018. It is led and run by enthusiastic surgical trainees with a passion for collaborative research and strives to achieve the following:

• Co-ordinate and run high quality multi-centre collaborative research projects to ultimately drive changes to optimise patient care
• Establishment a strong research network regionally between local trusts
• Encourage trainee engagement in trainee-led collaborative research
• Promote surgical research in the East of England deanery   
• Develop surgical trainee knowledge of research methodology
• Aim to present and publish STEER group projects with authorship of all involved (significant contribution will be recognised at core trainee/ST3 application and now also towards peer reviewed papers required for CCT)
