NIHR Manchester BRC Networking and Webinar Series

The BRC’s Rapid Translational Incubator signposts researchers to appropriate support when setting up and running trials and studies in GM. NIHR Manchester BRC now runs networking events and webinars to discuss solutions to common problems in a supportive peer network. The webinars provide an overview of the support available in Manchester and highlight an overview of processes/people to contact.

Theme: Generic aspects of study design for Experimental Medicine studies and trials

Choosing the most appropriate study design is one of the most important aspects to consider when developing a clinical trial or study. It is rarely possible to rescue a poorly designed study. In this webinar, Chris Sutton will talk about the main aspects to consider for a robust study design and when you might involve a CTU in your proposed study or trial.
