📅 What is it really like to take part in a clinical trial?

From study visits and appointments to monitoring and health checks, participation can look different from person to person.

In this video from our 'Understanding clinical trials' PH patient resource collection, Colleen Brunetti, explores some of the practical aspects of taking part in a clinical trial.

A major milestone for #PulmonaryHypertension (PH) care in Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰
The country’s first Joint Clinical Statement on the medical management of #PH has been published and presented at the Sri Lanka College of Cardiology Annual Academic Sessions 2026.

It was a collaborative effort between PVRI members of the Sri Lanka College of Cardiology, the Sri Lanka College of Pulmonology, and experts from the UK. The initiative reflects the growing commitment of clinicians, researchers and healthcare leaders in Sri Lanka and beyond to improving the diagnosis, management and long-term care of people living with PH in the country.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this landmark achievement.

📋 Did you know you have rights when taking part in a clinical trial?

Before joining a clinical trial, you should receive clear information about the study, have the opportunity to ask questions, and take time to decide whether participation is right for you.

In this video from our 'Understanding clinical trials' PH patient resource collection, Anca Berendea from PH Romania explains informed consent and the rights every participant should understand.

🩺 Do you have a current or past PH case that would benefit from wider discussion?

Global PH Consult gives clinicians the opportunity to bring anonymised complex PH cases to a tailored panel of PH specialists for discussion and shared learning.

The service is free and open to clinicians worldwide, with a particular focus on supporting those in low- and middle-income countries.

You don't need to have all the answers.
The purpose is to create space for discussion, different perspectives, and learning.
