*************************************
EDINBURGH CLINICAL TRIAL MANAGEMENT COURSE (ECTMC) 2003
26th February - 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:
a) are working as trial managers or co-ordinators;
b) have already taken part in controlled trials and now wish to run
their own trial (or just broaden their knowledge)
c) 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.
