RSS South Wales: Centre for Trials Research Showcase

This event has ended.

The Centre for Trials Research at Cardiff University is the largest group of academic clinical trials staff in Wales. We tackle the big diseases and health concerns of our time, including growing resistance to antibiotics, early cancer diagnosis and how to eliminate health inequalities. We achieve this by forming strategic partnerships with researchers, both seasoned and new, and building lasting relationships with the public, whose participation is essential for the success of our studies. The Centre for Trials Research is a UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) registered clinical trials unit. The Centre is home to researchers, trial managers, computer systems experts, data managers, administrators, quality assurance managers and statisticians.
