Online training for trial monitors now available

Following a successful and well-attended pilot on 30 November 2021, we are pleased to announce that recordings of the four training modules are now available via the Network website (https://ukcrc-ctu.org.uk/guidance-for-ctus/).

The recordings are designed to provide context and understanding of the key clinical trial Monitoring principles, together with practical examples.

The modules are:

1 – Introduction to the Principles of Monitoring

2 – On-Site Monitoring

3 – Remote Monitoring

4 – Central Monitoring

The recordings are supported by a Handbook, which is also available for download (https://ukcrc-ctu.org.uk/guidance-for-ctus/).
