On International Clinical Trials Day, we recognize the profound impact of collaborative research efforts on global healthcare. These trials serve as beacons of hope, illuminating pathways to new treatments and cures. Behind every trial is a network of dedicated researchers, courageous participants, and compassionate healthcare professionals, united in the pursuit of better health outcomes for all. Their collective commitment transcends borders, cultures, and languages, embodying the essence of scientific progress and human solidarity. Today, we celebrate their tireless dedication and unwavering perseverance, knowing that each trial brings us one step closer to a healthier, more equitable world. Let us reaffirm our support for clinical research and the principles of ethical and transparent trial conduct, ensuring that the fruits of our collective efforts benefit humanity for generations to come. #internationalclinicaltrialsday

Although sounds like a new concept, Implementation Science has actually been practiced for a long time. From healthcare interventions to organizational change, Implementation Science drives real-world impact by translating research into action. #healthinnovation #research #translationalresearch #implementationscience

WHO recently convened a global consultation to develop an action plan for strengthening and sustaining clinical research capabilities worldwide. Experts from across sectors came together to provide input, including researchers, funders, ethicists, and policymakers. The goal is to create a comprehensive plan that will guide collaborative efforts to bolster the global clinical trials ecosystem and ensure better health outcomes for all. This is a crucial step towards a more robust and equitable clinical research infrastructure globally. What are some of the major challenges and barriers that need to be addressed to achieve this goal, and how might the action plan seek to overcome them? Let me know your thoughts down below! #WHO #ClinicalResearch #Sustainability #ActionPlan

Another week another conferring of great minds at the 3rd conference of the Swiss #ImplementationScience Network (IMPACT) hosted in Geneva! As little as 14% of research in #healthcare is implemented, which may on average take up to 15 years! At the same time "low-value" practices are in place harming patients as well as the #environment. Implementation science adresses these issues - the Achilles' Heel: jumping to solutions! We need to get to the root cause through diagnostic evaluations of barriers and #ChooseWisely. (De)-implementation may also mean changing habitual #behaviors - a challenge we want to take on to reduce research waste and ensure high quality patient care. Thanks to the University Hospital Basel for supporting this, the Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care (IfIS) for a welcoming and inspiring first week and IMPACT (https://lnkd.in/eAXZn9sz) for a great conference!

How COVID-19 Transformed Clinical Research Forever The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically reshaped clinical research, pushing the boundaries of innovation and adaptation. From the rise of decentralized trials to the integration of digital health technologies, discover how the research community navigated unprecedented challenges and emerged stronger. Read more about the immediate impacts, innovative responses, and future outlook for clinical trials post-pandemic. #ClinicalResearch #COVID19 #Innovation

There’s a noticeable shift happening in clinical research—one that’s moving toward being more patient-centered. But this transition isn’t without its challenges. Balancing scientific rigor with patient needs, addressing diverse perspectives, and ensuring meaningful engagement are all part of the equation. Getting it right means rethinking traditional approaches and embracing new ways of working. What do you see as the biggest challenge in making clinical research more patient-centered? #PatientCenteredCare #ClinicalResearch #PatientEngagement #HealthcareTransformation

https://lnkd.in/e4g4UeAr The Medical Research Council, Greener NHS at NHS England and National Institute for Health and Care Research, have joined together to showcase a number of research projects that seek to find solutions for a more sustainable health research and healthcare sector.   Together the three organisations have a significant environmental impact but equally influence on the wider sector through funding, collaborations, supply chain and are collaborating closely to understand the dependencies between health of the environment and health of human beings. Research plays a pivotal role in advancing this agenda by not only identifying and addressing knowledge gaps necessary for delivering a net-zero health service, but also by establishing best practices to conduct healthcare research sustainably.
