Clinical Trials For All

The impact #clinicalresearch has can feel amorphous…hard to pin down. We had to share Shawn’s story as it’s a prime example of the lifechanging benefits of #clinicaltrials. What from his experience stands out to you? Share in the comments! https://ow.ly/XmkL50QccPk

Patient safety is crucial in clinical trials, but protocol complexity is on the rise, leading to more potential errors. How can we ensure researchers understand how to make the right decisions at every step? Simulation-based training has been shown to improve protocol compliance. It equips research teams with the skills and practice they need to navigate critical decision points. Read the latest blog post to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gZ2ZRuXn

Join us in spreading awareness of #SuddenCardiacArrest, which takes hundreds of thousands of lives annually. With heart disease still the leading cause of death, ongoing #ClinicalResearch into solutions is vital. #SCAAwarenessMonth #ClinicalResearch

Having an opportunity to share my personal experience battling antibiotic resistant infections at the United Nations at the High Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance two weeks ago, was a moment I won't forget. As I write this, I am facing yet another flare up on the infections that chronically plague my lungs. It is exhausting, it is frustrating, and it is frightening. My health condition, cystic fibrosis, means I’m at a lifelong risk of infections – something I will never escape from. And more I learned about #AMR and the stories I hear of many others, the more I realized the enormous scale of the issue. Any one of us can develop an infection. Because of drug-resistance, we’re increasingly seeing infections that could easily be treated become UNTREATABLE. We’ve seen amazing breakthroughs in science and medicine over the past decades but if we don’t act now to prevent AMR, we are exponentially increasing the likelihood of many infections taking people’s lives. With antimicrobial resistance already claiming 1.3 million lives annually worldwide and projections indicating a potential rise to 10 million by 2050 in the absence of intervention, there is dire urgency to unite on a global front. In my address to global leaders at the #UNGA79, I urged for union on thinking differently and collaboratively. Researchers, medicine manufacturers, policymakers, investors, and the public must strategize effective ways explore new therapeutic approaches developing novel antimicrobial compounds, and diagnostics, while promoting stewardship measures on community levels. I urged world leaders to act proactively to fight against AMR. Create necessary policies, bolster greater investment into new treatments and technologies, convene resources, assemble stakeholders because we are running out of time. I hope for a future where AMR isn't the greatest threat to my life, and a future where bacteria can’t take the lives of many. AMR is a silent pandemic and currently one of the greatest threats to our globe. 🔬 To my colleagues and followers in the healthcare world who may or may not have heard about AMR, please educate yourselves. ✍ I was featured in this article published today on the American Society for Microbiology titled "The Antimicrobial Resistance Pandemic: Breaking the Silence" 👉 Learn more about what it is, why it matters, and what we can do to raise awareness and find solutions: https://lnkd.in/euUMwSZe

Congratulations to C. Alan Bennett, also known as “Chef Benne,” for being named AKF’s 2024 Hero of Hope! A devoted kidney disease advocate and a kidney transplant recipient, Bennett is the founder of the C. Alan Foundation, the Kidney Kafe' and the Kidney Kafe' Garden. "Sadly, my story of crashing into kidney failure is not unique," Bennett said. "Until this is no longer the case, I will keep working to educate my local community about kidney disease, nutrition and lifestyle changes to improve our health. I am deeply committed to making a change in this space, and the American Kidney Fund's honor has given me further validation to help more people and help change lives." Congratulations again, C. Alan! Learn more about the 2024 Hero of Hope: https://bit.ly/3Y64PMw

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month represents a time dedicated to supporting those battling breast cancer, educating people about the risk factors, fundraising for research, and encouraging screening for early detection. Whether you have been personally affected, or you know someone who has, raising awareness is crucial in the fight against this disease. CRIO encourages everyone to #ThinkPink and join the fight against breast cancer today!
