A CAMPAIGN has been launched today as the Bradford district unveils its ambitions to recruit the world’s biggest community of health research volunteers. 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.
A cutting-edge trial being carried out in Bradford could save the lives of heart attack patients RESEARCHERS in Bradford have launched a cutting-edge trial, which could save the lives of patients who have suffered heart attacks. The study is being run under the auspices of the National Institute for Health Research Patient Recruitment Centre (PRC), which is hosted by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and run by the Bradford Institute for Health Research, which is based at Bradford Royal Infirmary. This latest research trial for PRC Bradford was made possible by a £7 million Government investment. The late-phase ‘DAPA-MI’ clinical research trial evaluates AstraZeneca s drug, Farxiga (dapagliflozin) as a treatment to reduce mortality and the risk of heart failure following a heart attack.
