"If you do not intentionally, deliberately and proactively include, you will unintentionally exclude." – Joe Gerstandt. This fabulous single sentence sums up why wider inclusion in trials means actively doing new and different things. #Inclusion

Trial managers play an essential role in the running of a trial. This week, @GSynesi talks to Morgaine Stiles, a trial manager @ICR_CTSU, about the How of trials methodology. So essentially - how do you manage the conduct of a trial?! Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/2mB…

'There is no wrong time, but there is always a best time' - listen to @MarionKCampbell giving us a 30min masterclass about WHEN to evaluate interventions & why the research question should always guide decision making to consider design & conduct in what are complex systems.

This episode is definitely one of those where the topic of conversation was steered by my own interests (EDI in trials) - but what else could be expected when interviewing somebody who is also passionate about the topic?!
New episode of the podcast out today! This week @Gsynesi talks to @shauntreweek about why trials methdology is so important. Here’s the episode link: open.spotify.com/episode/6JT…
