“A document setting out a vision for the future of UK clinical research, published on 23 March, acknowledges that NHS staff are not always able to deliver research, and that participation in trials can be seen as the preserve of clinical academics and specialist research teams. “This has to change,” it says. “Whether helping to deliver a clinical trial, supporting patients to access the latest research opportunities, or adapting current practices in line with new findings—delivering research is everyone’s.”

BMJ 2021

“The 2022/23 CRN annual statistics show research participation levels have increased on pre-pandemic levels. Almost one million participants (952,789) took part in clinical research across England. This is an increase of over 220,000 on pre-pandemic levels”

NIHR

“Making research an intrinsic part of clinical care means that patients and service users can expect to have access to the most cutting-edge treatments and technologies. We want the NHS to actively participate in generating evidence about effective diagnosis, prevention, and treatment through research. By acknowledging the important role of the whole of the healthcare workforce in clinical research delivery, we can ensure everyone is empowered to get involved in research and further boost overall capacity for research in the NHS and wider health system. ”
