Congratulations to Professor Stephen Bremner on his fantastic inaugural lecture for his new role at King’s College London. Stephen played a pivotal part in setting up BSCTU and is already very much missed. We hope our paths cross again! @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social

REDCap not just for clinical trials? We use it for: ✔️ CTU study databases, including eConsent, randomisation & SAE reports ✔️ Access requests ✔️ Training & delegation logs ✔️ Study trackers ✔️ @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social student & staff research projects What creative ways are you using REDCap?

A powerful message from one of our Profs at the Sussex Liver Research Centre launch. Planning data collection early isn’t optional — it’s fundamental to delivering high-quality clinical trials! #BSCTU #UHSx #clinicaltrials #researchdata #BSMS

Just completed the new E6(R3) GCP training? 👀 Spot anything familiar? Our REDUCe2 study is highlighted as a top example of Decentralised Trials — made possible by the RDN Agile Research Delivery Teams, supporting participants who can’t get to hospital so they can join cutting-edge research! Proud 😊
