Clinical research drives improvements in healthcare and leads to the development of more effective treatments for patients. The government has said it wants to encourage health research, recognising that - at a time when demand on the NHS is high and finances are strained - being innovative can help improve productivity.
Join us for a live discussion on Wednesday 16 April to discuss how we can maximise the impact of clinical research in the NHS.
Some of the questions we will be covering include:
• How does the NHS use clinical research?
• What impact is it having on services?
• What steps can be taken to improve the situation as it stands?
