🧪 #CareHomeResidents are often left out of #VaccineTrials, despite being most vulnerable. The #WATCH Consortium- with #CareHomeManagers, #NHS & #UniversityResearchers across UK, @nhsresearchscotland.org.uk, @cvrinfo.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social- is working to make trials inclusive and effective.

#InclusiveResearch starts with listening. #CareHomeResidents bring wisdom shaped by lives as leaders, innovators, clinicians, & public servants. At #WATCHProject, we turn these insights into safer, smarter, and more inclusive #HealthcareResearch for all. #CareHomeVoices 👉 Follow us to learn more
