The O'Shaughnessy review is out - a very accurate analysis of the challenges facing clinical trials in the UK and some exciting recommendations that can transform care for patients. The @NIHRresearch infrastructure will undoubtedly provide a vehicle for the delivery of actions.
My review of UK commercial clinical trials is published today: gov.uk/government/publicatio…. I'm incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, researchers, companies, public servants, charities and patients who contributed.
Fantastic opportunity to hear directly from Lord O’Shaughnessy and other panellists about the challenges facing the UK clinical trials landscape at the @ECMC_UK conference. I look forward to reading the recommendations of his review - apparently out by the end of this week!

A wonderful article by @DrAlisonSimmons on #InternationalWomensDay. A lot of progress has been made regarding gender inequality in medical research in recent years but there is so much more we should do. And as research funders we have an important role to play.
💬 "Gender inequalities exist in the world of work, homelife & culture, but when they occur in medical research, the consequences can be life-threatening"
