More InformationThe online course introduces the key considerations when designing and conducting a randomised clinical trial. The course is split into two modules: module 1 is Trial Design and module 2 is Trial Conduct. During module 1, delegates will learn why clinical trials are necessary, how different kinds of trials are designed and how bias can be minimised. Module 2 includes how trials are managed and then analysed, interpreted and reported. Delegates can choose to attend just one module or both. Neither module will consider non-randomised trials or other observational designs, or trials evaluating diagnostic tests. We will primarily focus on large multi-centre clinical trials, considering both drug and complex intervention trials. The course is offered solely online via Microsoft Teams over a 4 week period (2 weeks per Module). During this time, delegates will have access to all course materials, including pre-recorded slides and additional activities. Course materials will be accessible prior to the start of the course date and can be accessed at any point enabling delegates to learn at a time that is convenient to them. Each module comprises a variety of sessions each of which has an organised "live" session with a course tutor. These are organised sessions that all delegates are encouraged to attend, though attendance is not mandatory. You will be notified of live session dates in advance. Live sessions offer delegates an opportunity to talk directly to the course tutor and other delegates, ask questions they may have about the content they've accessed and explore activity content. Although the course is spread over 4 weeks, a lot of content is included. You should therefore ensure you have sufficient time to be able to access pre-recorded materials and attend as many of the live sessions as possible.
