About Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies involving patients, which compare a new or different type of treatment with the best treatment currently available (if there is one).
Taking Part in a Clinical Trial
These pages tell you how you can find a trial to take part in and what questions you could ask, if you are invited to take part in a trial.
PPI - Get Involved
These pages tell you what patient and public involvement (PPI) is, and how PPI is being taken forward at the MRC Clinical Trials Unit.
PPI Resources
We want to share our learning about patient and public involvement in clinical trials so that others can benefit from this.
