		</div><p>More than 100 patients across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde in Scotland with coronavirus have started to receive potential treatments for the disease.</p>
<p>It is thought the RECOVERY clinical trial is one of the fastest programmes looking at such a treatment.</p>
<p>All patients with Covid-19 being treated at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Inverclyde Royal Hospital and Royal Alexandra Hospital will be offered a place on the trial.</p>
<p>The randomised-controlled trial has so far involved 120 patients being given an active drug or standard care including steroids, antivirals and antimalarial agents.</p>
<p>Dr Jennifer Armstrong, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) medical director, welcomed the move saying: <em>“Our teams have been incredible in rising up to the challenge of Covid-19.</em></p>

<p><em>“Not just in the care and treatment of patients but also their dedication to improving our knowledge of the virus through clinical trials.</em></p>
<p><em>“This means our patients are receiving the most up to date treatment available.”</em></p>
<p>Although the NHSGGC clinical trial involves experts from the University of Edinburgh, RECOVERY is running separately from the institute’s STOPCOVID project involving up to 150 researchers.</p>
<p>Oxford University staff in England are also involved in the Glasgow-based UK-wide study which is funded by the UK Government.</p>
<p>Professor Julie Brittenden, NHSGGC research and development director, said: <em>“I want to thank all of our staff for their efforts during this incredibly challenging time.</em></p>
<p><em>“Our research, development and innovation teams are working hard to improve the diagnosis and treatment of Covid-19.</em></p>
<p><em>“We’ve been able to rapidly mobilise our teams to take part in clinical trials like RECOVERY and this is a testament to their dedication to the cause.”</em></p>
<p>Charles Weller, general manager at NHS Research Scotland, said: <em>“RECOVERY has been the fastest growing clinical trial in medical history – and a crucial part of our efforts to better understand and tackle Covid-19.</em></p>
<p><em>“I want to thank all teams for their commitment and professionalism to this national priority study.”</em></p>
