It seems Jim @caer_luel has posted a link to the same BBC article on another thread and I responded to that suggesting some might want to join this trial as there seems to still be places available (at least according the article dated 14 February 2026 i.e. yesterday).
I wasn’t sure if we are allowed to post a link to that because it is an invitation to research trials which I understood according to the message moderator Anna @Anna_Moderator sent the other day we were not supposed to do and so I didn’t post the link.
However, as this has already posted on the SA blog as per Rupert’s message, then I will repeat some may wish to join the trial.
The article says there are 270 places and budget of £2M but just over 200 participants so far - that suggests there are 70 places available and personally, if I would jump at the opportunity, or at least explore it before signing up.
