- research funders should act as study sponsors, unlike universities they have an incentive to support research
- approval at one NHS trust should mean that we can recruit participants nationally, it's unfair that patients are excluded from research based on their postcode
- consent for research contact should be opt-out, with a single national database
- clinical trials legislation should only be applied to studies which will be used to seek regulatory approval for novel medications/indications
A few easy to implement solutions:
- research funders should act as study sponsors, unlike universities they have an incentive to support research
- approval at one NHS trust should mean that we can recruit participants nationally, it's unfair that patients are excluded from research based on their postcode
- consent for research contact should be opt-out, with a single national database
- clinical trials legislation should only be applied to studies which will be used to seek regulatory approval for novel medications/indications
If only there was some political will/interest.
I can’t disagree with any of this Ed!
