The AllTrials campaign calls for all past and present clinical trials to be registered and their full methods and summary results to be reported – half of all trials go unpublished. The AllTrials petition has been signed by 84,879 people and 574 organisations. A co-founder of the popular initiative, Professor Carl Heneghan will talk about how the campaign is making progress by leaps and bounds, and issues raised in the five years spent obtaining the unpublished evidence for Tamiflu, as well as the implications for health care and general practice in the future.
Carl Heneghan is Director of the Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine, a General Practitioner and Senior Tutor of Kellogg College. He is a clinical epidemiologist so studies patients who see clinicians, especially those with common problems. His work focuses on improving the evidence-base to change practice. His research includes the treatment of communicable diseases in primary care, including recent work on Tamiflu.
