Ministers plan to use NHS app to expand clinical trials as part of UK-wide drive
Briefly

The UK government aims to expand clinical trials by leveraging the NHS app to match patients with relevant studies based on their health data. This initiative is part of a broader 10-year health strategy that seeks to streamline trial processes, reduce setup times from 250 to 150 days, and improve the nation's capacity for medical research. The plan includes measures to publicly recognize NHS trusts based on their performance with trials, with the goal of enhancing Britain's global standing in clinical research and attracting pharmaceutical companies to conduct studies in the UK.
The NHS app will become the digital front door to the NHS, enabling citizens to participate in developing future medicines. Why not do it again to cure cancer and dementia?
The strategy is part of the government's 10-year health plan for England, aiming to cut clinical trial set-up times significantly and restore Britain's reputation in medical research.
