A PK day (English)

PK studies look at how medicines move in, through and out of the body. Researchers carry out these studies to find out how much, how often and for how long person needs to take a particular medicine for it to safely do its job.

The animation follows a young PK study participant over one full day at a clinic.

It was produced by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL, Penta and Radboud University Medical Center, in collaboration with Penta’s Youth Trials Boards in South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe and the UK. Young people from these countries also feature as narrators in English, Lugandan, IsiZulu and Dutch.
