Are Canada's #clinicaltrials in need of reform? Experts weigh in. By @maddidellplain #MedTwitter healthydebate.ca/2024/10/topic/…

@lhunter1310 This is so important @lhunter1310 and it would also help with study recruitment. The dollars being spent to recruit participants would be better spent upfront working with patients and PWLE to help design a study where unnecessary burden and barriers are removed or reduced.

Yes - this is how patient input is helpful. If there were a patient partner helping co-write the protocol some of these issues would be known upfront and potentially corrected for thus increasing participant retention. #PatientPartnership #Engagement #Research #ClinicalTrials
