We are a group of academics and professionals with a special interest in the conduct and delivery of clinical trials, including their methods (i.e. design, analysis) and approaches to support them (i.e. trial management processes, information systems, data management, quality assurance). Our aim is to share knowledge and expertise to support the work of health and social care organisations in the ARC-NWC.
What can we offer?
We offer a network of experts to support people looking to develop their understanding and skills in the conduct of clinical trials, as well as providing opportunities to discuss and develop specific clinical trials from initial ideas through to grant applications and trial delivery.
We welcome new members to the network. If you are interested in joining the group please contact us here (ARCNWC-MIDAS@uclan.ac.uk) with a brief description of your expertise and interests in clinical trials.
If you would like support to undertake a clinical trial please send brief details to ARCNWC-MIDAS@uclan.ac.uk and we will identify colleagues interested in supporting you.
