‘On the Shoulders of Giants’ is a series of educational online talks where experts bring their perspectives to encourage and challenge wider thinking within the cancer research community.
Professor Shaun Treweek is Professor of Health Services Research in the Health Services Research Unit at the University of Aberdeen. He is leading an initiative called Trial Forge that aims to be more systematic about how we generate and use research evidence in making trial design, conduct, analysis and reporting decisions.
In this lecture, Professor Treweek will talk about why we need to think more about who is in our trials, not only in terms of clinical characteristics, but sociodemographic characteristics too. Shaun will focus on trials but the message is relevant for all health research: we need to think more carefully about who we involve.
