The MCRN works to encourage research into children's medicines, and to support the recruitment to and process of each study or clinical trial that we are involved with To achieve this we collaborate with academics, clinicians, pharmaceutical companies, and perhaps most importantly, with local parents and children By improving the knowledge base behind paediatric medicine, we are improving the care and treatment available for children in the UK Margaret is our Local Research Network lead for Training and for Involvement with Children and Families
