Abstract
For surgery to progress and thrive it needs a strong research base. Prior to 2006 and the Cooksey report on UK health research funding there had been an erosion of funding for surgical research and a disinvestment by medical schools and universities in supporting academic surgical departments. Many perceived that there was a flawed medical research agenda in that molecular science was supported to the detriment of applied clinical research. Cooksey and his team recognised the problem and changed the agenda completely. They recommended that translational research ('bench to bedside') needed greater support and reorganised the national structure so that the management of the medical research budget reflected this decision.
