ACTA Director, A/Prof Judith Trotman was a guest of Cassie McCullagh on ABC Radio Sydney today.
Health Economist A/Prof Susan Hurley has just released a book called Eight Lives, inspired by a 2006 UK drug trial. This opened up a fascinating discussion about clinical trials with the author and A/Prof Trotman as a guest in her role as Director of ACTA and Director of Concord Hospital's Haematology Clinical Research Unit.
The interview examined the economics, ethics, benefits and risks of clinical trials, with listeners calling in to talk about their experiences as participants.
It's a great listen that covers a range of considerations about the benefits and challenges of clinical trials.
