Though the first clinical trial was recorded in 1747 by Scottish physician James Lind, who found that oranges and lemons added to diet led to cure from scurvy in Royal Naval sailors. 20 May is international clinical research day as a result. (Combining my Scottish, medical, research, and naval backgrounds for that fact).
Brilliant Jo. What a wonderful experience you had and your ideas for learning together are spot on! We can make so much more progress when we are collaborating and learning from each other, not being excluded because we are not considered worthy enough to be at the table. We are not being included as we should be and part of that is that we cannot afford the enormous cost of attending conferences. We need to keep up with current research too! I will add that this is not universal. Some people/orgs are very keen on including people with lived experience in many different areas of endeavour. Much love ❤️
