A report from the Academy of Medical Sciences, @abpi.bsky.social, @nihr.bsky.social and NIHR Research Delivery Network explores the future of delivery trials in the community; how we can adapt to fit around the needs of patients and make research more accessible www.ukrdleaders.org/2026/05/13/d...

Yesterday was a fantastic start to the UKRD Summit 2026 - a key message was that research participants can feel lucky to make it onto a trial, but that access should be the norm - a sentiment we can all agree with. [1/3]

A key message from Lucy Chappell (DHSC/NIHR): Thank you for the work you’ve put into study set up - I know the blood sweat and tears that have gone into this and it’s the way we’ll work long into the future.

The four people on the stage here are very important - Jordan, Estelle, Elliot & Pauline are patients who have participated in research during their different treatment pathways and have joined us and share their experiences and insights - a vital perspective to help shape our discussions today.

We are gathering at the Edgbaston Park Hotel & Conference Centre with over 140 UKRD members for our eighth UKRD Summit. It's set to be busy and we can't wait to get started! Today we are looking forward to...

Sustainability in research is a big topic, and one we all need to work together to develop our understanding and take positive action.
