Happy International Clinical Trials day from the research team @Gateshead_NHS . Yesterday we spent the day in the hub speaking to our staff and patients about how clinical trials directly improve patient outcomes and quality of care #ICTD2026

Today marks Clinical Trials Day!

Every new drug or improved treatment, every life saved or made better through health or social care. They all happen because of people like you taking part in research.

Together, we can help research go further, faster - developing life-changing treatments for ourselves, our loved ones and everybody.

Whatever your age, gender or background, we can all be part of research. ❤️
