Professor Brian McKinstry, SHARE Director and Professor of Primary Care E-Health, University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian said: “We believe that key World Health Day aims such as patient’s rights to make decisions about their own healthcare are to be lauded and are exemplified by many of our initiatives.
“People can take part in research in a number of ways, but making yourself visible to those conducting important trials is a great first step. That’s where SHARE can make a huge difference to Scottish patients who are keen to take part in trials that are of relevance to them.
“To date, over 300,000 people have registered to join SHARE and that number continues to grow all the time.
“Joining the SHARE register only takes a minute but will significantly increase the effectiveness of health research in Scotland.”
