What are my rights regarding NHS clinical trials?

Participating in NHS clinical trials can provide access to cutting-edge treatments and contribute to medical research. As a participant, you have several rights, including the right to be fully informed about the trial, its purpose, and any potential risks. You should also have the right to ask questions and withdraw from the trial at any time without any consequences. Consent must be voluntary, meaning you should never feel pressured to participate. Furthermore, your personal information will be kept confidential, and you have the right to know how your data will be used. If you have concerns or questions about a clinical trial, don't hesitate to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
