Research Opportunities

The Endocrine Unit at Imperial is an academic unit, and we have a large research portfolio, undertaking both basic and clinical research on all sites. Imperial tops the ISI/Thompson ratings for diabetes research publications. As an Academic Health Sciences Centre, our clinical work and research are truly integrated.

Clinical training in Diabetes, Endocrinology and General Medicine may be interrupted for Out Of Programme Experience(OOPE).; useful experience is always encouraged, but requires some forward planning.
