Valuing Voices: Reducing Research Waste & Improving Clinical Trials
Posted: Wednesday, 05 November 2025
How can we design research that actually benefits people and the planet? This week we welcome back Karen Glerum-Brooks to the Research Room, and this time she's brought along her colleague Andrew Mott to talk about the Valuing Voices project.
Listen as Karen and Andrew share lessons learnt from clinical trials, the small design choices that can massively reduce research waste, and the qualitative interviews that are shaping their guidance for trials across the UK. If you’re writing a grant, planning a trial, or simply curious about how we can all do research better, this episode is definitely for you!
