Summary

This study will interview and observe up to 15 clinical research nurses and 15 research-patients at a London NHS hospital. The goal is to understand the challenges nurses face balancing patient care with research duties, and how patients feel about taking part in trials. Insights could help improve training, support, and the overall trial experience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help improve how clinical research nurses are supported and how patients experience taking part in trials.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage interview study with only 30 participants at one hospital, so findings may not apply everywhere.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
