In this past year, the research community has worked incredibly hard to understand Covid-19 and to find treatments and vaccines.

More than one million participants took part in Covid-19 research across more than 180 studies UK-wide. For more details, see the article by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) here

In Scotland we had more than 66,000 participants across 120 Covid-19 studies. You can read more about #ResearchVsCovid on the NHS Research Scotland website

And last but not least, in Aberdeen we have had more than 1600 volunteers taking part in 24 studies.

We want to say THANK YOU to all doctors, research nurses, healthcare support workers, R&D and laboratory staff, clinical trials pharmacists and volunteers! YOU ARE AMAZING!
