Hi becsta,

This particular trial is only in London unfortunately and in the very early stages. We will always try to keep people informed of trials in their area via our e-bulletins and also via our website: nras.org.uk/get-involved-re...

Also, every clinical trial that is currently ongoing is available to view on the Government Clinical Trial Gateway. You can search by area and disease and it brings up what trials are currently recruiting.

Hope that helps,
