Australian Teletrial Program webinar: A radical innovation for regional, rural and remote medicine
With 88% of clinical trials located in cities, patients outside of metro areas often face significant physical, financial and mental burdens that can prevent them from participation. This lack of access leads to poorer health outcomes and increased inequity.
The Australian Teletrial Program (ATP) works to improve access to and participation in clinical trials for patients living in regional, rural and remote regions. By leveraging teletrials, ATP is bridging healthcare gaps and bringing cutting-edge research directly to patients, no matter where they live.
Through the ATP, patients can access potentially life-saving new modalities via clinical trials, without having to travel. To date, over 1,000 patients across regional, rural and remote Australia are already participating.
