NEW: In a new @NIHRresearch #RSET blog, Pei Li Ng & Raj Mehta discuss embedding PPIE across rapid evaluations – and state that meaningful PPIE in rapid evaluation is not about involving people as much as possible, but about involving them purposefully. nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-it…

This study identifies four distinct real-world self-care decision-making patterns among patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity, equipping family physicians to deliver highly personalized, context-sensitive support. Read the full study here: annfammed.org/content/24/4/3…

"The organisational model that enables excellent continuity isn’t always the one best equipped to deliver neighbourhood care." Rammya Mathew considers whether good general practice is the same as delivering neighbourhood care bmj.com/content/394/bmj-2026…

Ethnicity influences health outcomes and contributes to health inequities, and is therefore important to measure and report on in research. This guidance offers a standard for how ethnicity related variables are collected and reported in trials bmj.com/content/394/bmj-2026…

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) inform regulatory decision making, health technology assessment & routine clinical care. We developed a feasibility item checklist for PROMs & their selection, beyond their psychometric properties (FACTOR3). sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Delighted to launch the new Centre for Health Research Methodology (CHRM) website! Bringing together expertise in evidence synthesis, clinical trials, methodology & informed health choices. Explore our work & team: chrm.ie #HealthResearch #EvidenceSynthesis

Here are my predictions for clinical research in the next 5 years: 1. systematic reviews and meta-analyses are replaced with AI evidence synthesis which is 'accurate enough' recognizing that no SRMA applies perfectly to a specific patient. 2. The anti-AI writing tools will finally be put to bed and everyone will use them. The value of research will focus on the data/novelty/impact as opposed to the writing process itself (it's absurd that's what people care about) 3. Large datasets are increasingly valuable to support AI trial emulation --> industry/pharma will pay researchers for the data. 4. Studies will continue to become more phenotyped via large data, biomarkers, imaging (POCUS), physiology as these will be the only studies to reliably produce positive results (outside of cancer and 10K cardio trials) 5. A whole new field of research will blossom ... impact of AI processes on outcomes. The biggest improvements in health outcomes for the next decade will come from these AI adoption studies that will improve diagnosis, management, and also reduce healthcare costs. 6. Someone will start an open sourced journal where the data is published with the study and can be queried by anyone using natural language. Readers can ask direct questions to the data as opposed to relying on the few results published in a given paper. This will open up massive opportunities for post-publication peer review. 7. Someone will come up with a way better way to assess researcher impact than H-index, citations, or even altmetrics. Something that can capture a true impact across multi-channels (academic, public, clinicians, practice, guidelines etc.) 8. Public grant funding will become increasingly scarce... this will drive collaboration between academia and industry which These are just predictions - I think it is a really exciting time for clinical research so am happy to be along for the ride! @john_basmaji @MaratSlessarev @NTFabiano
