The next paper vying for the prestigious #FGCup is something a little different..."From O'Shaughnessy to opportunity: innovating Hepatology Trials in the UK": bit.ly/4dxINaR This is a wonderful narrative on how and why clinical trials in Hepatology in the UK struggle to transfer conclusions to the real-world. A powerful piece which argues something we all know: we must involve the patients it affects. A collaboration between patients, Hepatologists, patient representatives and others, it describes what we really need to aspire to to ensure we are doing high quality and answering relevant questions. And thus @UK_CLIF was born! @OTavabie @Yvanne33163579 @drdina_mansour @ChrisMysko @Laurak1982 @jamesbmaurice @DrAnkurSriv @abhichauhan @tomjohnston84 @TrudieBurge @hoganbrianj @drgautammehta @ajcook @DrGordonHay @Harr_Ferguson @RajivJalan1 @JulieLiverTrust @LiverTrust @sheiybani @dr_aditi_kumar

@TonysChocoUK_IE are you not a bit embarrassed at putting an egg this tiny in a box this big? My first product from you. This was not a good experience.

It was only a matter of time, I suppose.

@jd_wilko @JeremySussman I did this. Lots of apparent reasons to do a stepped wedge. Got funding. Covid happened. Came back to actually do the study - the stepped wedge was infeasible and it turned out that individual randomisation was completely appropriate after all.

Surgical robotics are amongst the most complex devices entering healthcare - but how should we evaluate them? Published in Nature Medicine the IDEAL Robotics Colloquium outlines the latest guidance to aid researchers evaluating surgical robots: nature.com/articles/s4159… (1/9)
