Meet Kirsty
Kirsty is a clinical trial coordinator in her early thirties and is in a wheelchair. She works at a hospital and is directly involved in the setting up of a COVID-19 trial. In conversation whilst getting ready to go to work, she finds herself explaining her role in research and why she needs to continue working. She explains the important role the public plays into the early design stage of clinical trials to encourage older people to take part.
