⚠️ Nearly 19–72% of COVID-19 deaths occurred in care home residents. Yet their inclusion in clinical trials was minimal or non-existent. That must change. #inclusionmatters #inclusion #carehomes #vaccinetrials #watchproject #publichealth

Why are care home residents often left out of clinical trials? From consent complexity to ethical hurdles — the barriers are real. The WATCH Project is working to break them down, one step at a time. Let’s make trials fairer and more inclusive.

Gave some advice yesterday on how to respond to #reviewers to #proposals and was encouraging people to contact mentors with experience of the specific call to sense check responses. But aware not everyone has this pool to hand, so a few of the headlines from conversation. Please chip in.

Just as we need more women in STEM and leadership roles, we need more men in caregiving roles. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/o...

From the Chief Medical Officer: “If we attempt … to design and promote a system of transactional care, we run the risk of losing the art of care - the human connection that makes care caring - and promoting moral injury to our staff.” #RealisticMedicine #MedSky www.gov.scot/binaries/con...

What is unique about social care? Thinking about this after a day discussing social care digital innovation…What specifically should we think about SC data that is distinct from health, and/or integration?? Your thoughts welcome! www.dhi-scotland.com @nicolacooper.bsky.social
