International Clinical Trials Day is held in May. The day celebrates the anniversary of the first clinical trial by James Lind in 1747 into the causes of scurvy on board the HMS Salisbury.
Newcastle is home to a fantastic range of clinical research which is being delivered in our local Hospital and University facilities, so we took the opportunity to mark International Clinical Trials Day by hosting this online event and uncovering some of the fantastic research happening at the NIHR Newcastle Clinical Research Facility on the 27th May 2021.
Researchers from the facilities talked about the important clinical research taking place in Newcastle during the COVID-19 Pandemic both in the hospital and University facilities. You can catch up on the entire event here!
