Greener Trials: Building the evidence base to improve the environmental sustainability of healthcare research
This Wellcome Trust funded project explores how behavioural changes can help make clinical trials greener. As part of a larger study led by the University of Liverpool, this work package focuses on identifying the behaviours that could support greener trial practices in future clinical research. Through focus groups with key stakeholders, the study will examine the barriers and facilitators to adopting more sustainable approaches, guided by theoretical models from behavioural science. Over the duration of the study, we anticipate speaking to around 50 participants, including the public, NHS site staff, funders and regulators. This work package is being led by Prof. Katie Gillies.
