    As of 2023, fewer than 30% of participants in clinical trials are women. Whilst we have seen progress, there is still more to achieve when it comes to representation of women in research. There is also a significant lack of research towards women’s health and female related conditions. This session aims to explore the systemic gap in women’s health, the consequence of insufficient research and how we can reframe clinical trial design to be more inclusive, equitable and effective
