Unmet training needs and proposed solutions

Unmet need	Proposed solution
Poor trainee knowledge of other pillars of oncology	Multidisciplinary clinics to facilitate multidisciplinary learning opportunities Dedicated training time (for example, 3–6 months) spent in another specialty Structured training metrics to include appreciation of other specialty procedures and treatments
Decision-making made in subspecialty silos	Multidisciplinary team meetings to promote joint decision-making Multiprofessional clinics
Inadequate exposure to research methodology and administration	Encourage trainees to take time out for research (formal research degree or fellowship to gain research skills) Include integration with clinical trials units into research fellowships
Few opportunities to gain laboratory experience before PhD	Short (1–2-month) laboratory experience programmes for medical students and residents
