Care Services Improvement Partnership
The Care Services Improvement Partnership supports positive changes in services and in the wellbeing of vulnerable people with health and social care needs. The Clinical Trial pages have been written for adult service users and carers and for people who run mental health clinical trials. They provide clear and simple information about how clinical trials work and what to expect if you take part in one. The goal is to help people make a decision about whether to take part in a clinical trial, as well as to encourage researchers to work in partnership with service users and carers to develop and run their clinical trials.
