Using the West Midlands CONCERT to characterise regional incidence of acute-onset post cataract surgery endophthalmitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whilst research and innovation is embedded within the UK's National Health Service (NHS) constitution, Doctors-in-training have little opportunity to contribute to designing, leading and recruiting into clinical trials or cohort studies.
