RECOVERY Trial - University of Oxford: Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy

The RECOVERY Trial was a very large clinical trial that identified possible treatments for Covid-19. It very quickly recruited thousands of patients in NHS hospitals across the country during the Covid-19 pandemic.

We were initially approached to make one animation to explain how to carry out the trial for the medical teams in UK hospitals. The trial was designed to be as simple as possible for NHS staff to avoid any extra drain on their resources. So our animation explained the process in a simple direct style. We produced the animation in just over a week and a half – which is a Morph record!

We were delighted with the thought and care that Morph put into helping us develop them.

We quickly moved onto a second Patient Information animation. This is very much our bread and butter and involves turning the Patient Information Sheet into a two minute explainer animation. The animation summarised the key information from the PIS and was presented to patients on tablets at the point of care, supported by the Patient Information Sheet. We needed to be flexible and responsive to change both animations as the trial evolved.
