Lorna Speid

My name is Lorna Speid. I am a Pharmacist and I work in the pharmaceutical industry. I enjoy my work because it allows me to help patients. There are many diseases that do not yet have treatments, or which have substandard treatments. My book Clinical Trials: What Patients and Healthy Volunteers Need to Know, takes you into my world. It helps you, the patient, to understand how clinical trials work. What questions should you ask the physician in different situations? Should you go into a clinical trial? Should you put your sick child or parent into a clinical trial?
