Its really rewarding and exciting to be part of a trial where we are asking the general public to help find potential covid-19 treatments that will inform the world – no face to face visits are needed, just internet access and participant packs will be couriered to you at home. For more support, in addition to our clinical study team being at the end of the phone, your GP practice will also be aware of the study and can discuss it with you.
