How to be a Great Chief Investigator for Clinical Trials
In 2024, the Network ran three How to be a Good CI workshops in association with Leeds CTRU, Nottingham CTU, and the Centre for Trials Research in Cardiff. Over 100 delegates took part across the three sessions.
The response was overwhelmingly positive and we are pleased to say that more sessions are being planned for 2025 and 2026, under the name ‘How to be a Great Chief Investigator for Clinical Trials.’ The first is being held in Leeds on 1st May, please see below for details.
Dates for the remaining courses are currently prospective although there are plans for 2 more ‘How to be a Great Chief Investigator’ courses to run during the course of 2025: Glasgow CTU, Scotland Collaboration – Autumn 2025 Barts/PCTU, London Collaboration – Winter 2025
These workshops are designed for current and aspiring Chief Investigators of clinical trials, with a clear objective: to equip you to excel in conducting clinical trials through effective collaboration with a clinical trials unit.
Each event provides expert guidance and interactive activities within a collaborative learning environment.
Join us for this developmental experience, where you will gain valuable insights, forge essential connections, and expand your capabilities as a Chief Investigator.
The first ‘How to be a Great Chief Investigator Course’ is being run on May 1st 2025 by Leeds CTRU.
You can register for this event here before 15th April
