- Abstract
GLO:1C4K/01feb21:tct13241-fig-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): . gl In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of clinical research staff from across the UK were redeployed to the front line of the National Health Service (NHS).1 This left a depleted workforce to deliver the urgent public health research (UPHR) projects required to characterise the novel disease, inform public health measures and evaluate potential therapeutics. As medical students at the University of Birmingham, we received an urgent appeal from Dr Chris Green (co-author) and the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) to volunteer to help deliver these clinical studies. Our experiences have not only supported UPHR delivery but have also highlighted the learning opportunities that clinical research presents to medical students.
