Find out more information about Medical Trials: what it's like to take part, latest news, who's involved and some fun stuff as well.
If you'd like to write about your experiences or would like a blog of your own to use while taking part in a clinical trial please contact us. We will set up and host a blog (you choose your own layout and write about anything you feel like) for you if you're taking part in a trial. We want to hear about all the good parts, the not-so-good parts and how you feel about taking part.
The Department of Health is considering adding chickenpox to the list of vaccines available to children. The vaccine has been used in the USA for some time and this is the first time that such a move has been considered in the UK.
A spokesman said: “This work is at a very early stage. The JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) considers a wide variety of issues around vaccination and immunisation.”
