The 8th Edinburgh Clinical Trial Management Course (ECTMC)
Wednesday 26th February to Friday 28th February 2003
This three-day course focuses on how to manage randomised controlled
trials (RCTs), but also covers some aspects of trial design.
It is designed for people who are:
a) working as a trial manager or coordinator;
b) have already taken part in controlled trials and now wish to run
their own trial (or just broaden their knowledge)
c) who have no trials experience as yet, but intend to play a part in
running randomised controlled trials in the future.
The knowledge gained is often relevant to people working on other
types of research design (cohort studies, surveys, etc). The course
is recognised by the UK Medical Research Council.
The course is a mixture of lectures and small group workshops.
Its practical approach takes participants step by step through all
stages of undertaking a well-run trial. The course will include
topics such as:
* The rationale for doing RCTs
* Starting up a trial
* Regulatory requirements
* Involving consumers
* Designing trial materials that work
* Methods of randomisation
* Maximising recruitment
* Managing data effectively
* Managing a realistic trial budget
Fees: The course fee is £450 per delegate.
This includes lunches, refreshments, an evening reception and the
course dinner.
