Inaugural Clinical Trials Workshop

Last week we held our inaugural MDCTP Clinical Trials one-day workshop at Australian Technology Park. The workshop has been designed for medical entrepreneurs, researchers and clinical staff who want to understand more about the steps involved in developing a clinical trial from idea through to protocol.

The one-day workshop was developed in collaboration with Southern Star Research and Cicada Innovations. Concepts explored throughout the day included:

• regulations governing clinical trials in Australia
• setting up a clinical trial – insight into clinical trial protocols, site and clinical research organisation selection, ethical approval, budgeting and contracts
• medical device vigilance in the context of clinical trials
• biometrics departments and why you need them
• key roles and responsibilities
• what you need to effectively resource a study
• hints and tips on where to find funding to get your trial off the ground.

The course was well attended and over-subscribed highlighting the interest and need for similarly focused workshops in the future.
