There’s been a drop in ppl participating in interventional industry clinical trials 📉

There are many potential reasons for this - lots of action underway to fix it 🔧

We're proposing further measures in our latest report.

New breast cancer treatments can extend patients’ lives, yet some remain unavailable in parts of the UK, even though people in the US and many European countries can access them.
