On 20th<\/sup> May, the CTR recognised International Clinical Trials Day with an online event celebrating public involvement in our research. Three members of the public \u2013 Margaret Ogden, Jane Leahy and Julie Hepburn – kindly shared their experiences of working with us as Research Partners on three very different studies.<\/p>\n

Margaret talked about her involvement in the PEACH study<\/a>, which is looking at antibiotic use in patients hospitalised with COVID-19. The aim of the study is to understand whether the use of a blood test (PCT test) to guide antibiotic prescribing, safely reduced antibiotic use among these patients during the first wave of the pandemic. This is important to know because antibiotics are sometime over prescribed which can expose patients to more side effects, an increased risk of infection from superbugs and an increase in healthcare costs.<\/p>\n

Video replay of the event is available to watch online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following her talk at the event, Margaret composed a poem to gather her reflections:<\/p>\n

The CTR International Clinical Trials Day<\/em>
\nWas a golden opportunity to come my way<\/em>
\nTo present my reflections on PEACH\u00a0 patient involvement<\/em>
\nIt had certainly been an esteemed appointment<\/em>
\nI’d learnt about the benefits of the PCT test<\/em>
\nOn this work there’d be much time to invest<\/em>
\nA lot of data to carefully analyse<\/em>
\nOn attention to detail there’d be no compromise<\/em>
\nResearchers were great, there was a lot of support<\/em>
\nSo impact of PPI could be meaningfully caught.<\/em><\/p>\n

– Margaret Ogden<\/em><\/p>\n

The research team are grateful to Margaret for her valuable public perspective on the study.
