Francois moved on to conduct a monitoring visit in Hanoi this week. He conducted file reviews, looking at all the consent and assent forms, and checking a selection of the data forms against the data in REDCap. It is a great opportunity for the team to review what can be done to improve quality.

Monitoring visits can feel a bit daunting for teams, but hopefully this week with Francois has been a great opportunity to learn about research processes and procedures and to tighten these up for the country teams. Francois certainly enjoyed his time in Phnom Penh. Hanoi next!
