This short course runs across three half days and will focus on the processes surrounding the set up of a clinical trial, from the point at which funding has been awarded to opening the first research sites. Through a combination of online teaching, group and individual activities, you will be taken through a practical step by step guide on the processes and dependencies in trial set up. To enhance the experience of the course we recommend you come with a project in mind (although examples will be given throughout for those who are new to research/clinical trials).
