On May 20th, we are honoring 🎉 International Clinical Trials Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness 📢 and recognizing the tireless efforts of everyone involved in clinical trials. This date pays tribute to one of the first randomized clinical trials, initiated on the same day in 1747 by James Lind (1716–1794). Representing 10 statistical associations across Europe, we at #EFSPI are committed to maintaining professional statistical standards, especially in the context of clinical trials and their methodologies. Quantitative decision-making is an integral part of clinical trials, but the quality of the analysis and interpretation of the evidence are directly tied to the quality of the data. Healthcare professionals, researchers, and all staff at clinical trial facilities work tirelessly each day to gather and provide high-quality data that meets the objectives set out in the clinical trial protocol. Their role is fundamental in the process, often undertaken in demanding circumstances. We also want to acknowledge the patients who participate in these trials. Their trust, courage and resilience are vital to the progression of medical science. Their participation in clinical trials paves the way for improved treatments and therapies, ultimately enhancing patient care worldwide. We invite you to take a moment to reflect on the importance of clinical trials and express your gratitude for those who dedicate their days to this important work. Their contributions are key to improving patient outcomes. 🙏 #ClinicalTrialsDay #collaboration #gratitude

If you work in clinical trials in Aust&NZ, use this survey to tell ACTA what training and support in implementation science is needed to improve research translation - only takes 10-15 mins
📢 Attention Clinical Trial Professionals! The Australian Clinical Trials Alliance (ACTA) is conducting a national needs assessment survey to identify the training needs in implementation science research and practice within the clinical trial workforce. If you are involved in clinical trials as part of your role or as a consumer partner, or patient, your input will help ACTA understand how the clinical trial workforce in Australia and New Zealand engages with implementation science. The insights gathered will shape a national training needs assessment. The survey is anonymous, takes only 10-15 minutes, and is completely voluntary. Your participation would be greatly appreciated! Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/g7gwxpzu Dr Parisa Glass; Sally Hough; Rebecca Ivers AM FAHMS FRSN; Ingrid Hickman; Dr Nicola Straiton; Sandy Middleton; David Thomas; Frank Lin

Today, we commemorate World Clinical Trials Day, a day dedicated to recognising the critical role clinical trials play in advancing medical research and improving patient care. This day marks the anniversary of the first-ever clinical trial conducted by James Lind on May 20, 1747. 🔬 A Glimpse into History: On this day in 1747, Scottish physician James Lind conducted what is considered the first controlled clinical trial aboard a ship suffering from scurvy. Lind's innovative approach and dedication to scientific rigor laid the foundation for modern clinical trials. Key Milestones in Clinical Trials History: 1747: James Lind's scurvy trial demonstrates the importance of controlled experiments. 1940s: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) emerge, setting the gold standard for clinical research. 1964: The Declaration of Helsinki establishes ethical guidelines for conducting medical research. 1990s: The rise of global clinical trials fosters international collaboration in medical research. Present Day: Advances in technology and methodology continue to evolve, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trials. As we reflect on the history and progress of clinical trials, let's celebrate the collective efforts that drive medical advancements and continue to strive for a healthier future. 🌍 #WorldClinicalTrialsDay #ClinicalTrialsHistory #MedicalResearch #InnovationInHealthcare #JamesLind #ThankYou

Delighted to share that our Site Engagement work has once again been recognised at the Communique Awards. 'Saving a Place for Patients', our drive to place patients at the heart of a phase 1 investigator meeting, was a standout winner in the 'Excellence in Global Education Meetings / Stand-Alone Events' category. This project shed light on a clear, unmet need. While clinical research sites play a vital role in trial recruitment and retention, historically, investigator meetings focused on the science, data, and procedures - rather than how best to communicate the trial to patients and support them through consent and participation. Central to 'Save a Place' was the experience of people living with moderate to severe asthma, which resonated with attendees and Communiqué judges both: "The storytelling was brilliant, and it was a really important topic to improve diversity in clinical trials," commented the judges. "They put patients at the heart of the whole project, which was fantastic." If you would like to hear more about the project, please don’t hesitate to reach out April Campbell Chloe Gower-Page Roland Barter #PatientEngagement #ClinicalTrials #InvestigatorMeetings
