Increasing national and international interest in identifying, recording and promoting access to healthcare trials and their results has seen the development of large numbers of trials registers such as ClinicalTrials.gov and trials portals such as the WHO ICTRP. More recently, results registers such as ClinicalTrials.gov have also emerged. Trials registers provide information on current and recently completed research and results registers provide information on completed research. This type of information is useful for research commissioning, health technology assessments, systematic reviews and product development.
Trials registers, results registers and other research registers are developing quickly and provide challenges in terms of identification, efficient searching and record management. This course highlights the background to the development of trial registers and trials results registers, discusses the types of registers available and the relative coverage of ClinicalTrials.gov and ICTRP, and will offer practical advice on searching registers and managing register records.
The training course presenters will be Julie Glanville, Carol Lefebvre, Mick Arber and Hannah Wood.
We would like to draw your attention also to another training course on 22nd October 2013 on Advanced Searching. If you book for the Advanced Searching course as well there is a £50 reduction on the total price of the two courses.
