[Clinical research--relations of central and peripheral hospitals]

Clinical research is of great importance for the patients, the medical industry, doctors, hospitals and society as a whole. More time should be set aside for clinical research during (daily) working hours. Arrangements should be made to stimulate and guide young colleagues who have new ideas, through scientific projects at whatever hospital they work. Depending on economy and the doctors' qualifications, central and peripheral hospitals should cooperate on clinical research. Although their hospitals are of different size, the doctors are equally capable and cooperation is characterized by colleagual interdependence.
