ClinTrial Refer General Practitioners Roundtable Event 2021

Wed 2nd June 2021 @ 6:30 pm

THIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED

Clinical trials are essential in contemporary evidence-based medicine and are a key research tool for advancing medical knowledge and patient care. Today’s GPs must be prepared to engage with new ways of recruiting into clinical trials and considering the latest research developments.
ABOUT THE EVENT
In May 2019, ClinTrial Refer, in partnership with the Deeble Institute for Health Policy Research and Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA), held an invitation only round table and facilitated discussion that explored an improved role for GPs in clinical trial recruitment.
Through guided discussions using the World Café methodology, the day provided a platform for participants to share their experiences, knowledge and reflections of issues relating to clinical trial recruitment. Discussion addressed how general practitioners can better access clinical trials, with themes around:

  • Culture – organisational and individual attitudes and behaviours
  • Politics – Policy and funding levers that can influence change
  • Technology – opportunities to use technology to facilitate better outcomes
