On #ICTD2025, we joined researchers, ethicists & advocates to explore what truly inclusive clinical research looks like.
🔹 Inclusivity is a design issue.
🔹 EDI training & co-creation are essential
🔹 Community engagement is vital

Clinical Trials Day 2025 Today’s topic is public involvement in research!
Public involvement in research is... “research that is done 'with' or 'by' the public, not 'to', 'about' or 'for' them”
For example, this might involve patients or carers and they could have a say in... the design of the research, what happens, and how the research results are shared. It does not mean that they take part as a research participant!
Public involvement in research is important! It can: Make sure research answers the questions important to patients Make sure that the research is designed so participants are less likely to drop out Make information about the research more understandable, such as the patient information sheet Make sure the results are shared in the best way to reach those who might be interested
1/2 We are almost at the end of our Clinical Trials Day posts! Today is all about public involvement.
Find out more about what public involvement is, what it is not and how people can help!

Clinical Trials Day 2025 Today’s topic is informed consent! What does informed consent mean? Why does it matter?
Informed consent is when a person is told about the research and what it involves, choosing freely to take part in it. This generally happens before the research. This is an important part of ensuring research involving humans is carried out ethically. However, this was not always the case....
In the 1930's, the US Public Health Service started the Tuskegee Syphilis study, to observe “the natural history of syphilis”. Black men with and without syphilis were involved in the study but informed consent was not taken. In the 40's, penicillin was being used widely as a treatment but this was not offered to the men. In the 70's, a story about the study was published, resulting in the trial being stopped. By that time, 74 were still alive. 128 had died of syphilis or complications, 40 wives were infected and 19 children had congenital syphilis.
1/2 We are continuing with our Clinical Trials Day posts. Today is some information about informed consent! We share a little bit about what this is and why it is important.

“In my capacity as Head of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance, I ensure that transparent processes and regulations are in place to assure not only the wellbeing and safety of the participants but the quality and integrity of the results. Clinical trials provide an opportunity for participants to play an active role in their own healthcare and to gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, increasing the options for treatment when standard care has failed. Knowing that my role contributes to this advance is very rewarding.” -Joanna OCTRU HoRAQ
Finally, we hear from Joanna, our Head of Regulatory and Quality Affairs, on why her role in Clinical Trials is important, and why Clinical Trials are important for the participants involved ⬇️

“I always wanted to be in a career that would make a direct impact on healthcare and on people’s lives, and working in clinical trials lets me achieve this. As a medical statistician, my role is enjoyable – when programming I get to play around with new pieces of code, and can apply my statistical knowledge in a way that contributes to real change in healthcare - I contribute to trial protocol development, and carry out final analyses, getting to be the first person to know whether a new treatment is effective or not.” Chris, OCTRU Medical Statistician
Chris, one of our Medical Statisticians, explains why he wanted to work in clinical trials and how he can use his statistical knowledge to make an impact on healthcare and on people's lives ⬇️
