🚨 Work in clinical trials & want to make them more inclusive? 💬 Join our 90-min online workshop this June! We’ll reflect on barriers & explore practical ways forward. 👥 For anyone involved in trial design/delivery 🗓️ June date tbc ✍️ Register interest: forms.gle/QmuiemeGwt8Dgd…

A fantastic few days in Cambridge at the @MRCTMRPDTP event! I had the chance to present an overview of my PhD and connect with my brilliant fellow students. Always great to share ideas and see what everyone is working on!

📍 Day 2 at the Edinburgh Clinical Trial Management Course! Trial managers are key - balancing communication, adaptability & complexities. Having worked in trial management, I know how rewarding it can be. Not sure if I’ll return after my PhD, but I love working in trials!

📍 Day 1 at the Edinburgh Clinical Trial Management Course! A full-on day packed with insights into trial management—from setup to recruitment to regulations. Excited for Day 2! #ClinicalTrials #TrialManagement #ECTMC2024

Such an informative keynote session from Prof @kamleshkhunti - health disparities are apparent across so many disease sites, but it’s encouraging that researchers are now making the effort to minimise them! #ictmc2024

After months of speaking with professionals in trials, a key takeaway: intersectionality is poorly understood and hard to implement. While inclusion is vital, we need simpler, practical ways to apply intersectionality in trials. More insights to come! #ICTMC2024 #ClinicalTrials

@ShobaDawson This was from yesterday! I’ve already taken my poster down. I’ll try to catch you at some point today or tomorrow ☺️

@AzarASefre What’s your poster number please?

Does belonging to multiple disadvantaged groups = worse health? 🤔 My review shows that it does. This is why clinical trials must address intersectionality if we are to properly tackle health inequalities. #ICTMC2024 #PhD #ClinicalTrials #Intersectionality

@YingWong888 Hey! I’m just about to go into the PeRSEVERE workshop in Harris 2

@AzarASefre Hey, nice to talk to you just now. What are you doing this afternoon? I’m have some lunch and will see if I can go to a work shop in a bit 😁

Are you involved in clinical trial design, planning or conduct? 🔍Join our research study and share your insights on inclusion and representation in trials. We are particularly interested in speaking with men and people who belong to ethnic minority backgrounds.

What a fabulous two days at our @MRCNIHRTMRP training workshop this week. Engaging speakers and great discsussions with our DTP students, our wider student network and supervisors! Thanks to all 😀

A bunch of us are running a workshop on 30th Sept at @ictmc2024 on inclusive and diverse trials, see trialforge.org/tour-date/how-… The full @ictmc2024 program is at inconference.eventsair.com/ictmc-2024

First in our nod to Trailblazers for Be Part of Research Week is Azar Alexander-Sefre, a second-year PhD student with us @MRCTMRPDTP Azar's research focuses on making trials more inclusive:

📢One of our DTP students @AzarASefre is looking for researchers to interview as part of her PhD study. Do circulate widely and get in touch if you want to be involved.

Some of my lovely @MRCTMRPDTP PhD cohort #trialsmethodology #PhD

It was great to give a short overview of my project at the @MRCTMRPDTP Associate Partner Symposium event today #inclusivetrials

Well done to HSRU PhD students @AzarASefre @SGreenwoodUoA who have been presenting their PhD work in 3-minutes at @aberdeenuni PGR conference this week, not an easy task!👏

@SherrattFrances @RonziSara @NazmyVillarroel @ChiaraRinaldii @EjegiMemeh @DrVJMcGowan @Genderintell @NIHRSPHR Interesting! Thanks, I’ll give it a read 😊

@SherrattFrances @RonziSara @NazmyVillarroel @ChiaraRinaldii @EjegiMemeh @DrVJMcGowan @Genderintell @NIHRSPHR Thanks Fran! However I can’t see the previous Tweet for some reason. It says the owner limits access…

@RonziSara @NazmyVillarroel @ChiaraRinaldii @EjegiMemeh @DrVJMcGowan @Genderintell @NIHRSPHR @AzarASefre Looks like an interesting read relevant to your PhD 👍

We’re introducing a new policy that will require MRC researchers to consider diversity when designing clinical and preclinical scientific experiments. These changes aim to ensure research findings are relevant and beneficial to everyone in society: orlo.uk/yMbz4 1/
