Chaired by Kamran Abbassi. The series looks at what we don’t know about common conditions, and what barriers are in place to finding out. In this session the editor in chief and his co chairs, George Davey Smith and Allyson Pollock will discuss – who holds the key to unlocking some of the most difficult questions to answer – what the role of evidence based medicine and current trial methodology is in the post pandemic, digital first world – examples of answers being found to patient problems and whether epidemiology, public health, implementation science or political lobbying has unlocked the unknown.

| 13:20 - 13:50

One of the reasons that it is rare for policy priorities and medical research to align clearly is that the research agenda (what research questions get asked and therefore answered) is tightly controlled by scientists. How do we make sure more research is more used and useful? How do we make sure the patient and citizen can have a say in how their taxes are spent on research.

The BMJ research team has an impact factor to maintain, but also a mission to improve health for all. How do the teams that select research make their decisions about what’s really important to publish?
