Ep_5 - Dr Edward Watson - Clinical Trials are an Under-utilized Tool in our Healthcare System

Dr Ed Watson is the CEO of Aotearoa Clinical Trials, a network of hospital based clinical trial sites with over 20 years experience in clinical trials in Aotearoa - New Zealand.While it is well understood that Clinical Research plays a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge, and developing new therapies, we need to also recognize that it also contributes to the reduction of Health Inequities by providing access to next generation interventions before they hit the market.In an era where public health budgets are tightly constrained and the costs of modern technologies is ever-increasing, Clinical Trials need to be viewed as a vital component of the wider Healthcare System.Join us in Episode 5 where Ed and I discuss these topics and more.
