Abstract
Since March 2020, UK researchers have established over 70 urgent public health studies to investigate potential treatments, vaccines, and diagnostic tests for covid-19. NHS hospitals have had a vital role in delivering these studies at pace and scale, despite working under extreme pressure. The results are now informing practice worldwide.
