The Association of British Insurers (ABI) have confirmed to the Health Research Authority that participation in clinical trials does not affect eligibility criteria for travel insurance and have now withdrawn their guidance document “Clinical research trials and insurance”.
The Health Research Authority (HRA) in association with the devolved administrations, has launched a consultation on research transparency. Last year the organisation was tasked by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee to devise a new strategy to ensure that trusted information about health and social care research studies is publicly available for the benefit of all.
