Non-commercial clinical research (which includes charity-funded research) - as well as addressing patient priorities and developing new treatments and cures - has a huge benefit to the UK economy.
New Frontier Economics report, commissioned by AMRC and @wellcometrust.bsky.social, showcases the extensive benefits of non-commercial clinical research. It reveals the ‘triple dividend’ this research brings to the UK: unlocking growth, supporting the NHS and improving lives. bit.ly/3KrW7nf

If a child has 3 persistent symptoms, 3 GP visits, or 3 weeks of unexplained symptoms, it might be time to call your local on-call paediatrician 📞
