A huge thank you to Dr Norha Vera San Juan & Sigrún Clark from RREAL & UCL and also to QUESTScentre for a brilliant workshop on 'Rapid Qualitative Research Methods Applicable in Clinical Trials' today at Ollscoil na Gaillimhe | University of Galway. Some very interesting discussion from our attendees!

Often we talk about communication of #clinicaltrial findings to all stakeholders...

📻The 4th class girls of #Duleek NS #Meath will talk for the 2nd time LMFM RADIO today...

They also wrote to President of Ireland, Leo Varadkar & Norma Foley T.D about their work 👏

I have spoken before about the use of routine health systems data to make clinical trials more efficient. One way of testing their potential is to undertake what has, more recently, been termed #DUCkS (Data Utility Comparison Studies) #MethodologyMonday #88 1/7

#SCT2024 Congratulations! 🎉🎊🎈 Trial of the Year Award goes to Dr. Adam Devall Uni of Birmingham’s trial

The future is bright! ☀️😎
We had the pleasure of meeting 52 young #Trialists from Irish primary schools for #ICTD2024

Their trials explored mood, sleep & learning strategies, & they conquered challenging aspects like #randomisation , recruitment & retention #Trialsmethodology

Congratulations to Professor Shaun Treweek & team for receiving Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funding aiming to improve clinical trial importance, design & integrity by new pre-funding peer review options, as studies show most clinical trials are 'bad' - abdn.io/Hc
