Membership is free, so just contact kerrie.mcgiveron@liverpool.ac.uk, who can put you in touch with the relevant TMRP group! (2/2)

The MRC-NIHR TMRP is an international network of leading researchers in trials methodology, efficiency and delivery. Members are looking at the implications of their research findings for the environmental impact of clinical trials. (1/2)

This #internationalclinicaltrialsday it's fantastic to be posting about #GreenerTrials. It was a pleasure to work with the team on this animation. Watch to see how to make trials greener, without compromising health outcomes.

and investigate the application of behavioural science to support engagement and involvement of relevant parties in greener trials. (3/3)

the project aims to speed up and simplify data and evidence collation to inform lower carbon clinical trials,do the research to reduce the carbon footprint of trials in health and social care (2/3)

Today members of the TMRP Greener Trials group launch their project “Greener Trials: Building the evidence base to improve the environmental sustainability of healthcare and healthcare research” with the first meeting of the project Steering Committee. Funded by Wellcome, (1/3)

With over 130 members from 14 countries, we working hard to share knowledge and facilitate the research to enable lower carbon clinical trials. Current resources can be found here: Network Hubs :: Enabling Lower Carbon Clinical Trials (CiCT) Project.

This World Environment Day we shine a spotlight on the MRC NIHR TMRP Greener Trials group, an open forum for collaboration, knowledge exchange, research and stakeholder engagement in the area of Greener Trials Network Hubs :: TCWG Subgroup: Greener Trials. shorturl.at/IyAMz (1/2)

This week saw the publication of the accompanying editorial from Rachel Phillips and Victoria Cornelius providing a really useful overview of learning from the series 3/7

UK Standards for Public Involvement Welcome to the UK Standards for Public Involvement in Research website

As part of our registration process, CTUs must show a firm commitment to PPI&E in all areas - from trial design to reporting results - aiming to exceed current UK requirements: sites.google.com/nihr.ac.uk/p...

PPI&E is not just 'nice to have', it's vial for ensuring research has real-world impact.
