NIHR Manchester BRC Networking and Webinar Series

The BRC’s Rapid Translational Incubator signposts researchers to appropriate support when setting up and running trials and studies in GM. We now run networking events and webinars to discuss solutions to common problems in a supportive peer network. The webinars provide an overview of the support available in Manchester and highlight an overview of processes/people to contact.

Theme: Generic aspects of study design for Experimental Medicine studies and trials

Choosing the most appropriate study design is one of the most important aspects to consider when developing a clinical trial or study. It is rarely possible to rescue a poorly designed study. In this webinar, Chris Sutton will talk about the main aspects to consider for a robust study design and when you might involve a CTU in your proposed study or trial.

Dr Chris Sutton, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Trial Statistics, Centre for Biostatistics, The University of Manchester

Chris is Deputy Director (Methodology) and Lead Statistician for Manchester CTU. He has an interest in improving health through improving trials and collaborates widely on complex trials in various disciplines, with specific interest in the topics of stroke, musculoskeletal and mental health.
