International Clinical Trials Day 2020
08-11-2020
We are exceptionally pleased to announce that Prof Rustam Al-Shahi Salman has accepted the offer of a part-time secondment to the UKCRC CTU Network as Clinical Director, after an open application process in 2022.
Rustam is a chair of clinical neurology at The University of Edinburgh, practising honorary consultant neurologist in NHS Lothian, as well as clinical director of the Edinburgh CTU.
He leads the Research to Understand Stroke due to Haemorrhage (RUSH) programme, which is dedicated to improving the outcome for adults who have diseases that may cause, or have caused, stroke due to intracranial haemorrhage.
He also has an interest in increasing the value of biomedical research by minimising waste in the choice of research question, study design, study conduct, regulation, and reporting. This led to him becoming one of the lead authors of The Lancet’s 2014 Series on Increasing Value and Reducing Waste in Research (www.thelancet.com/series/research) and the related campaign (www.thelancet.com/campaigns/efficiency).
Drawing on his experiences as both a clinician and a clinical trial chief investigator, he will define the scale and scope of what better relationships between clinical trials units and clinical communities look like, plan and carry out some activities to improve this relationship, and what metrics could be used for light touch evaluation of this activity across the UK.
We very much look forward to working with him over the next two years.
