HHTU News Roundup
First Trial Management ‘Away Day’
On Wednesday 13th November we held our first Hull Health Unit Trial Management ‘away day’ (even though it was in the office). Since opening in 2018, the HHTU has continued to grow with the team ever expanding so this was a chance to get all the trial management team together. It was a great day of discussions and shared learning around potential recruitment and retention strategies, risk assessments and monitoring.
Operations Manager Bronwen Williams said ‘Now we are all working from home and the office, it was great to get everyone in one room (except for Mahe who joined remotely). We had a very productive meeting including training, discussions on emerging issues in clinical trials and how we might implement key trial management initiatives. It was a positive and productive day, and we have agreed to have ‘Away Days’ at least twice every year going forwards.’
HHTU Director and Trial Manager attend Networking Event
Our Director Judith Cohen and Trial Manager attended the joint Innovation, Research and Improvement System (IRIS) at Humber and North Yorkshire and NIHR ARC Yorkshire and Humber knowledge motivation networking event. It brought together in bringing together individuals from academia, the Integrated Care Board and Integrated Care Systems with the NIHR infrastructure in the region. This promoted the sharing of knowledge which is important for moving research evidence into practice and led to future collaborations to be discussed.
