Wonderful to hear about the big systematic research studies being done in the UK in COVID-19 at #rcemvsc - actually #worldbeating! Both #recoverytrial and #PRIEST changing the game.

And whoaaaa! #CONDOR and FALCON study from Rick Body - hadn't even heard of this but so exciting to hear about the agile response in diagnostics research to covid-19 at #COVID19. Results pending...

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.🙂🚀

📜The first CONDOR paper is out for peer review! We’ve undertaken a systematic review & examined the diagnostic accuracy of the FebriDx finger prick blood test for #COVID19. Evidence suggests the test could help to “rule out” COVID-19 in hospitals. ➡️medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

*Huge* landmark today... [drum roll...] We've hit 1,000 participants in the FALCON study! Incredible achievement - well done to everyone! Keep going. You're doing a great job 👍

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! 👏👏👏

The team in the West Midlands did an *outstanding* job to recruit participants in Birmingham, Coventry & Stoke to the Moonshot arm of the FALCON study, helping to get lateral flow tests validated Julie Timmins has made a fantastic video here... youtube.com/watch?v=rV8ZrP…
