Get involved with the Explain Initiative

The Explain Initiative seeks to create a repository of animations that can easily be accessed by UKCRC registered Clinical Trials Units. These animations will be freely available for all trials units across the network to use. They aim to make sure everyone who might be suitable for a clinical trial is given the opportunity to learn and understand what it is about and to consider if they wish to participate. The Explain Initiative team is asking for the views of those who have taken part in clinical trials and those involved in designing, managing and recruiting to clinical trials to help identify the key topic areas for which explainer videos should be created by filling out a survey.
