Edinburgh Clinical Trial Management Course

This two-day course has been running for more than two decades to support the professional development of anyone involved or interested in clinical trial management, including Clinical Trial Administrators, Trial Assistants, Trial Officers, Trial Co-ordinators, Trial Management Support Officers (TMSO), Assistant Trial Managers (ATMs), Trial Managers (TMs), and related roles. The aims of the course are: - To develop attendees’ knowledge and skills in clinical trial management. - To improve attendees’ understanding of related disciplines including research governance, regulation, trial methodology, data management, monitoring, and project management, with a view to effective teamworking. - To highlight the importance of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE), the need for efficiency in trial design and conduct, and how to consider sustainability in trials. These threads will run through the whole course. The course consists of a variety of workshops, practical tasks and lectures. Interactive sessions cover key topics associated with setting up and delivering clinical trials. Sessions provide practical guidance and facilitate discussion, information exchange and provide plenty of networking opportunities. The course is co-delivered by The Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
