RECOVERY update:

49,000 pts enrolled.

And on Sunday 31st March, we closed the final COVID comparisons.

We continue to study treatments for flu & community-acquired pneumonia.

And are ready to respond to future outbreaks if needs be.

Thank you to so many for so much support.

There is a crisis in clinical academia in the UK. We talk of the need to expand medical schools, embed research into the NHS to improve care, & the importance of a vibrant life sciences sector for the economy of the UK, & yet we seem unable to tackle the underlying issues 1/9

'It is crucial the UK is prepared for the arrival of future pandemics. You don’t get ready to fight the next war by disbanding the army just because it’s peacetime.'

Great to host U.S. FDA at Oxford Population Health (OxPop) University of Oxford today.

Excellent discussion with Rory Collins, Hilary Marston, Dr. Robert M. Califf & Richard Peto (watched over by Richard Doll), sharing a mission to improve health through the generation & implementation of reliable evidence.

Looking forward to hosting Dr. Robert M. Califf at Oxford Population Health (OxPop) tomorrow where he will be giving the Richard Doll Seminar. (Another of those who dedicated their career to putting the evidence into evidenced-based health care.)
