Hi seren1
Thank you for your post asking about how to get involved in clinical trials and whether this is something your consultant can signpost you to.
Our information on clinical trials might be of interest and Cancer Research UK has a search facility where you can search for trials being carried out for different types of cancer including breast cancer.
You can also discuss this with your consultant and ask if there are any trials they think they may be suitable for you and if so, they can refer you. They will know about main breast cancer trials that are currently in progress and those which are happening in your area and might be relevant to your situation.
