Beyond compliance – turn patient engagement regulation into research results
July 21 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The UK is becoming a faster, more predictable, and higher-performing environment for global clinical research. Following landmark updates to the UK Clinical Trials regulations in April 2026, participant engagement is no longer just best practice.
Dave Dunton from our Patient Engagement in Clinical Development (PECD) service will lead a session exploring these new regulations – from registering trials publicly to providing lay summaries.
Hear how we’ve already helped lots of commercial sponsors to ‘stress test’ patient-facing documents, gather insights from focus groups, connect with national networks, and embed meaningful patient feedback into processes.
Our experienced panel will share first-hand experience, insights and case-study examples:
- Dr Sally Dews, Pfizer
- Clive Collett, Health Research Authority
- Emily Pickering, NIHR
- Dr Claudio Spera, AAVantgarde
- Mala Thapar, Public Contributor
