In May 2021, Dr Vijaykumar became the National Research Lead for Modality Partnership. His role involves making decisions on which research studies the divisions of the Partnership will be involved in. Research projects are vital in supporting the advancement of medical science and is very important that the right studies are chosen. Many of these studies involve developing diagnostic tests and treatment that would not be available otherwise, and therefore, benefit our patients.
