Exploring challenges and solutions to research engagement among breast surgery trainees in the UK

Abstract
Research-active units are well known to have better patient outcomes, yet consultant clinical academic numbers continue to fall despite repeated efforts to increase clinical academic activity at all levels. We explored the experience of breast surgical trainees in accessing research opportunities during their training, including perceived/experienced barriers and potential solutions.
