Considering the news, I am happy to confirm that FALCON study workstream B is recording stunning recruitment figures. Well above target. Nurses and researchers on the ground keep pushing new ground and I am struggling to work out which of our 14 sites is lead recruiter now.🙂🚀

Tonight I want to say a massive thank you to Dr Lennard Lee (Oxford University) - Project Delivery Lead for the FALCON study Moonshot arm to evaluate lateral flow tests Lennard has been up & down the country working tirelessly. His energy & drive have got us here: >310 participants! #CovidHero



I couldn't agree more Jay and it has been the approach from the start. We need to continue be fully behind National Institute for Health and Care Research mission at eveystep now - the only way out of this for everyone- vaccines, diagnostics, treatments, health protection and social support.

Close to 300 more participants this week - we end the week with just over 1,500 participants registered in Castor EDC & more being registered as we speak - fantastic effort from all the teams! 👏👏👏



Today we recruited our 50th patient to the Falcon Study đź‘‹ (Facilitating AcceLerated Clinical Validation Of Novel Diagnostics for COVID-19), Big thank you to Susie Hardwick! + FALCON study Adrian Boyle Cambridge Emergency Medicine Research Cambridge University Hospitals NHS ED MRI MFT Rick Body CATO Cambridge
