Welcome to Unlocking the Power of the Patient’s Voice in Clinical Trials again, our new quarterly podcast series where we dive into the stories and experiences of the people behind clinical trials.
Our guest in this episode, Harriet Scorer, a former medical director and life sciences professional, shares her unique perspective on clinical trials, both as a doctor and as a patient. Her journey through a rare blood cancer, Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM), has highlighted the importance of integrating the patient’s voice into clinical research.

Over the past year, Global Community Director Steve Fuller has facilitated many discussions with life sciences professionals to explore how clinical trials can be improved to better support patients. A key takeaway? The patient's voice often goes unheard in these trials. This is why Steve is so grateful to have met Sharon, whose personal journey highlights the importance of patient representation.
Part of The IN Group Communities, Race in STEM a safe, judgement-free space to share one another’s experiences and ideas. Together, we can challenge the status quo and showcase the excellence of the underrepresented in STEM.
