The PRINCIPLE Trial

Evaluating potential treatments for COVID-19 infection in older people.

Supporting the PRINCIPLE trial

An open letter to UK primary care - 22 June 2020

PRINCIPLE calls on the support of every GP, general practice, primary and social care professional in the country to support patient recruitment.

Every GP practice, out-of-hours provider and NHS 111 across the country can now contribute by identifying and signposting patients to the study. Please direct potential participants aged 50 and over with symptoms of COVID to selfscreen via the website ( www.principletrial.org ).

Notice about New Site Set Up

The PRINCIPLE trial has stopped accepting new GP sites for set up as the trial is now open to all patient directly regardless of their registered GP surgery.

To enable as many people as possible to benefit from the trial we are happy to work with all sites on promoting the trial.

A variety of media is available from posters and videos to scripted text and emails with instructions on how to send to patient lists.

The full list can be found here under signposting .

Any potential participants can be directed here . This will allow as many people as possible to learn about and join the trial.
