About this episode

The UK has long been a world leader for clinical trials and life sciences research. But after losing ground post-COVID and post-Brexit, the country has begun to rethink the landscape for clinical trials. In this free New Scientist podcast, we meet the chair of the UK review into commercial clinical trials, James O'Shaughnessy, and ask how the independent review has influenced the reinvention of the clinical trials infrastructure for a new age of medicine.
