The RCT is widely regarded as the principal approach to obtain reliable evaluation of treatment effectiveness of healthcare interventions. To ensure that the inferences drawn from RCTs are accurate, the design, implementation and analysis of trials must be high quality. The course will address the key factors in achieving this. The Trials Unit has strong collaborations with clinical partners and proven capacity and expertise in running pragmatic RCTs of complex interventions in a range of settings. Our trials programme has attracted funding over the last decade from, for example the National Lottery Charities Board, the Arthritis Research UK, NIHR and the MRC. All course participants will receive a certificate of completion which will be appropriate to include in the documentation for Appraisals and PDP. • Who should attend the course? • Individuals who are new to clinical trials, those embarking on clinical trial research and those with some experience of designing and running trials. • Individuals from the full range of clinical researchers, including allied healthcare professionals, and non clinical researchers, including trial managers and R&D managers. • Individuals interested in clinical trials in the primary care setting, at the primary / secondary care interface and in secondary care.
