Description

This webinar was broadcast live on Thursday 25 January 2024.
It is available in video format on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/3kTVF8SoA0w.
With more treatments coming through the development pipeline, we are all hopeful that more of those living with inherited sight loss will be offered the opportunity to take part in clinical trials in the years to come.
But what’s it like to be a participant? What do you need to consider before you commit? And how does it feel as a parent to allow your child to take part?
Join Research Development Manager Kate Arkell as she talks to a young clinical trial participant and his mum about their experiences. They will also talk about other types of research participation opportunities, and explain how treatments get from the laboratory to the clinic.
