About this Event
Randomised clinical trials are the gold-standard method for evaluating healthcare interventions. The methodology behind the design, analysis and reporting of clinical trials has evolved over time, as has the distinction
between pragmatic and explanatory trials. This course is designed to provide an overview of key issues in the design, conduct and analysis of pragmatic clinical trials.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
This introductory course would be suitable for early / mid-career researchers working in clinical research in academia or the NHS. It is open to those working across a range of research roles, including trial or data
managers, principal / chief investigators etc, and does not require detailed knowledge of statistical methods.
WHAT WILL THE COURSE COVER?
The course will provide an introduction to the principles of pragmatic trials, including their design and analysis. It will introduce strategies to optimise
trial conduct, including consent, recruitment and data collection and highlight the importance of patient and community involvement. Participants will have an opportunity, in facilitated sessions, to work up an outline protocol for a pragmatic trial.
