Abstract

The UK's technical ability to identify people eligible for medical research is not yet matched by a practical capability to approach them directly to ask them to consider participation in those studies. The consequence is that recruitment to research is more difficult than necessary and some projects fail. This makes Britain a less attractive location to undertake clinical research than it should be. In order to overcome this increasingly important obstacle, we wanted to develop a register of Scottish residents who wish to be considered for participation in a range of studies. This was an oral presentation given at the Clinical Trials Methodology conference 2011, 4-5 October 2011, Bristol, UK.
