Today is International Clinical Trials Day, it is celebrated on May 20th, every year and it is the day that honours all of the researchers, sponsors, suppliers and volunteers who have made the advances in clinical trials possible. We also remember the great work of James Lind 1716 to 1794, the founder of clinical trials. Dr Lind was a Scottish ships doctor who discovered a cure for scurvy. Congratulations and heart felt thanks to all.
