Events

Events are hosted throughout the year to keep stakeholders up to date on topical issues relating to clinical trial research. Forums are held regularly and there is an annual workshop in May.

Clinical trial research forums  

Clinical trial research forums provide useful information about clinical trials and research. Guest speakers present on a variety of topical issues. Representatives from site research and governance offices, organisations conducting human research, industry sponsors, as well as investigators, trial coordinators, ethics committee members and government are welcome to attend.
