Important update
In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been changes to the recruitment of some of our trials. We are now home-based during the COVID-19 outbreak, but available and working. Please email the relevant trial mailbox, or the named contact for urgent matters. Responses may however take longer than normal as staff may be working altered hours.
