What is a clinical trail + why should you join?
A clinical trial compares the effects of one treatment with another. It may involve patients with a particular disease or condition, healthy people, or both. Trials are designed differently depending on what is being researched.
Very often, the clinical trial takes place as part of the treatment and care that you receive at your GP surgery, at hospital or in other NHS services. e that you may be able to take part in. People can benefit from taking part in clinical research trials in different ways, including the chance to test a new treatment at an early stage and by supporting the development of new and more effective treatments, therapies or medicines.
