I have been intensively involved in the research on the application of currently available knowledge for the improvement of cancer care. This research covers the types of treatment that are appropriate for different clinical conditions (benchmarking and guidelines), planning services to improve access for patients, monitoring service delivery through patterns of care studies and development of the knowledge and skills of the cancer workforce. I devoted considerable effort to better educating the cancer workforce by measuring cancer teaching and developing model curricula and innovative teaching programs. I have made substantial contributions to knowledge about best practice by developing clinical practice guidelines and have developed tools and plans for cancer service delivery and have had a major influence on the training of the undergraduate and specialist medical workforce about cancer.
