UK patients to gain direct access to clinical trials, says Wes Streeting
- The UK government’s decade-long health strategy includes enabling millions to participate in clinical trials through the NHS App, as announced by Wes Streeting.
- This initiative responds to a 41% fall in new UK clinical research studies between 2017 and 2021 and follows recommendations from the 2023 O'Shaughnessy report.
- The plan involves a national recruitment drive, prioritizes trust accountability for patient recruitment, and aims to cut commercial trial set-up times to 150 days by March 2026.
- Wes Streeting stated that the new platform will significantly boost medical research to restore the UK's leading role internationally and help ensure patients access innovative treatments much sooner than before.
- These measures aim to strengthen the UK's global clinical trial leadership, improve equitable research participation, and accelerate the translation of treatments into healthcare.
