Edinburgh Clinical Trial Management Course (ECTMC)

Dates: 21st & 22nd November

Time: 09:15-17:00

Location: John McIntyre Conference Centre, Edinburgh

This course has been running for more than two decades, in order to support the professional development of anyone involved or interested in clinical trial management, including Trial Management Support Officers (TMSO), Assistant Trial Managers (ATMs), Trial Managers (TMs), Senior Trial Managers (STMs) and related roles.

The aims of the course are:

• To develop attendees’ knowledge and skills in clinical trial management.
• To improve attendees’ understanding of related disciplines including research governance, regulation, trial methodology, data management, monitoring, and project management, with a view to effective teamworking.
• In 2024, there will be a particular focus on patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in trials, efficiency in trial conduct, trial manager career progression, participant diversity, and sustainability in trial conduct.

The course consists of a variety of workshops, practical tasks and lectures. Several interactive sessions cover key topics associated with setting up and delivering clinical trials. Sessions provide practical guidance and facilitate discussion, information exchange and provide plenty of networking opportunities adjacent to Arthur’s Seat, a mountain in the heart of Edinburgh.

The course is co-delivered by The Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

The three gold threads of the course in 2024 are:

1. Involving the right people in design, including patients
2. Efficient design
3. Sustainability

Cost:

• NHS/Academic rate = £550
• Optional course dinner (21 Nov 2024) = £35
• Industry rate (inc dinner) = £985
