| UK Dermatology Clinical Trials Network |
 |
The UK Dermatology Trials Network is open
to anyone (medical staff and patients/carers) with an interest in dermatology
research.The network was established in 2002 by
Professor Hywel Williams of the University of Nottingham. The aim of Network is
to conduct clinical trials for the treatment or prevention of skin disease that
are independent of the pharmaceutical industry. | |
To most people, getting involved means
taking part in a study, and this is extremely important. However, there are
other ways to become involved that are equally valuable:
- helping to identify research areas
that are relevant and appropriate
- helping to design studies
- assisting with interpreting research
results
- promoting the work of the network
Patients and carers being involved helps
the network:
- answer the research questions that
are relevant to patients
- share research news with patients
and the public
- keep research on track
Being involved will help patients and
carers:
- have a say in dermatology research
- share experiences in a positive way
- learn more about research by
attending relevant free training courses
- gain new skills
- have the chance to make a
contribution
To get involved, contact the Network
Manager and discuss how you would like to become more involved. There is no need
to have experience of research.
Visit www.ukdctn.org to register an interest and for more information,
including details of the ongoing and developing clinical trials.
