This course aims to provide an introduction to the challenges of recruiting people to randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and strategies to address these. The course draws on evidence generated by the QuinteT research programme, which specialises in optimising recruitment to RCTs based on research conducted in over 70 trials to date. Course content and examples will be drawn primarily from trials set in secondary care hospital settings that span a range of medical specialities.
This course aims to equip attendees with insight into the common sources of recruitment difficulty in RCTs and ways of mitigating or overcoming these. This 1-day online course will be held live with a mix of interactive lectures and group discussions.
This course is suitable for health professionals, trial co-ordinators and researchers who have an interest or active role in the design and delivery of RCTs. It will be of particular value to those who organise and/or discuss trial recruitment with potential participants - especially trials in secondary care hospital settings that are deemed difficult to recruit to.
