Clinical trials


in retail car parks at multiple locations across the country. Such has been the popularity of the mobile sites that additional appointment days have been added to the programme schedule. Our Future Health’s goal is to recruit up to five million volunteers across the UK, creating one of the most detailed pictures we have ever had of people’s health. Once again, accessibility and convenience within community settings make it as easy as possible for people to take part. Continuing to support innovation and take


advantage of new technology within the research industry will enable us all to play a part in transforming health outcomes, and the provision of mobile facilities is undoubtedly an essential ingredient. Lord O’Shaughnessy, meanwhile, is due to publish his advice on the future for clinical trials. This will include recommendations of priority actions for 2023, as well as setting out longer- term ambitions. For the clinical trials sector, the NHS and its many partners, much now depends on the outcome of that review.
