EMIS Ethical Principles

Future of Clinical Research The Government says we now must view COVID-19 as a springboard. In particular, it wants to see data and digital at the heart of the UK’s future clinical research. This follows 5 key themes:

• Clinical research embedded in the NHS – A research-positive culture that empowers all healthcare staff and is integrated as part of their job. • Patient-centred research – Patients should have easy access to, and participation in, research. What’s more, research needs to be more widely accessible to rural, diverse and under- served populations. • Streamlined, efficient and innovative research – The Government’s vision is for the UK to be seen as the best place in the world for clinical research.

• Research enabled by data and digital tools – Again, the Government has a vision of the UK boasting the most advanced and data-enabled clinical research in the world. • Sustainable and supported research workforce – The people working in clinical research will receive rewarding

opportunities and enjoy exciting careers, in both commercial and non-commercial research.

Working with the entire healthcare industry, EMIS can help make it easier for patients and health care organisations to support this research vision for the UK.

“ Ground-breaking technologies, data and analytics will transform healthcare and save lives. Now is the time to seize the opportunity and make this vision a reality.” - Matt Hancock, Former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care 23rd March 2021
