Is taking part in a clinical trial something you have considered? Finding information on how clinical trials are run and weighing up whether certain trials would be suitable for you can be time-consuming.
This is why we’re inviting you to join our webinar on Tuesday 5th July at 3:30pm where we explain in detail how clinical trials are run and highlight elements you should consider before signing up to take part in a clinical trial.

In this webinar, we aim answer the following questions:
- Why are clinical trials important in medicine?
- How important are trials when weighing up your treatment options and preferences?
- Are there any risks of being involved in a clinical trial?
- Who regulates clinical trials?
- What regulations are in place to make sure that the drug is safe before it reaches a clinical trial?
- What are the benefits of being involved in a clinical trial?
- Where can I find out more about available trials?
We will be joined by:
