To mark International Clinical Trials Day, the local NHS is urging more volunteers from across Bradford, Airedale and Craven to sign up to take part in research. More than 50,000 people in the district are already involved in research studies, which have recently included being at the forefront of a worldwide trial which successfully led to a vaccine against Covid-19, as well as a study exploring the best and safest sleeping position for pregnant women. The initiative is spearheaded by a new website www.cityofresearch.org, where people can see the opportunities and studies led by the district’s home-grown research talent.
