Towards integrative, patient-centred clinical research

Abstract

What does clinical research in Switzerland need in order to increase its benefit to patients and society? What changes are necessary? This year, the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS) published its White Paper: Clinical Research, which formulates seven goals that bring together clinical research stakeholders around a shared vision. This vision – to strengthen the impact of clinical research – is based on a solid partnership with patients and the public.
