Description
The speaker, Yuri Kulikov, a SAS surgeon from Warwick, discusses the importance of involving clinicians in research. He acknowledges the challenges faced by clinical practitioners in balancing their work with research responsibilities, including lack of time allocated in contracts and limited financial incentives. However, he encourages clinicians to participate in research initiatives to contribute their insights and inspire innovations that could enhance clinical practices. Kulikov highlights the potential benefits of collaboration within established research teams and emphasizes the value of clinical question-based research that clinicians are uniquely positioned to drive. He mentions the current shift towards integrating research into clinical settings by building networks of clinical trial units and suggests that even passive involvement in data collection could be beneficial. Ultimately, Kulikov urges clinicians to engage in research efforts, either through direct participation or by providing feedback on existing studies, with the hope that they may eventually allocate time for research within their clinical schedules.
