Should diverse representation in UK clinical trials be mandatory?

Road to Equality is an initiative created by Innovative Trials, COUCH Health, and Egality to improve diversity in UK health research and clinical trials.
We believe the UK should be a trailblazer in addressing diversity in UK health research and clinical trials, because treatments will be more safe and effective for everyone.
Following our panel - Should diverse representation in UK clinical trials be mandatory? we are bringing together a National Taskforce to drive this aim forward. In 2021, the Taskforce will focus on recording ethnicity in UK health research and clinical trials. This was a critical issue raised in the panel discussions, as current under-reporting is impacting quality of data, and means we have no benchmark to measure improvement.
The Taskforce’s activities will include raising public awareness, calling for political action, and identifying where policy change is needed. If you are interested in being a part of the Taskforce, or would like to be updated on this work, please sign up today.
