Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed talks to Professor Allan Gaw about how the UK was able to rapidly adapt to the quest to find new treatments for COVID-19.
He points to key ingredients such as the NIHR research workforce, fast-tracked funding decisions, reduced bureaucracy, collaborative research culture - all of which contributed to the UK's success. Importantly, he also recognises that none of this could have been possible without the infrastructure and data systems provided by the NHS and he explains how the UK's integrated health research system was critical to the delivery of the hugely successful COVID-19 platform trials.
This podcast is part of our 'Persectives from the Pandemic' series looking at the delivery of Complex and Innovative Design (CID) trials in the COVID-19 pandemic.
