Clare Calvert, Anne Francis, Patrick Julier
Tuesday, 16 July 2024, 10am to 11.30am
Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, ND08
Hosted by octrutrialshub@ndorms.ox.ac.uk
This session is one in a series following on from the OCTRU Summer Meeting taking place on 9th July. Please note that this session will not be conducted as a hands-on workshop but will instead provide an overview of some of the available tools & new tools in development for trial/project management and practical demonstrations of these.
session overview
- A demonstration of a new trial set-up tool currently being piloted within the Experimental Medicine & Rheumatology group of OCTRU. The tool is intended to support Trial Managers in tracking trial set-up tasks, direct to relevant templates/documents/SOPs and provide an oversight of trial set-up activity. Through a Power BI interface, this is a very visual tool for clear set-up tracking within the trial management team.
- A practical demonstration of setting up a Newsletter, GP Letter, Vouchers and an alert to sites in SIMS.
This session will take place in person in Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, ND08.
