Hard to believe it is now 20 years (!) since we published the DAMOCLES Charter to support data monitoring committees do their job well. It is still routinely used to inform all NIHR DMCs today 😊 @mattsydes.bsky.social

My most recent blog post for NHSE on clinical trials is here: digital.nhs.uk/blog/data-poin… It's my contribution for #ClinicalTrialsDay. It's a personal story. My take-away message for you is: "Every person that ... joins any trial is a hero."

And some bonus #TrainMisery. No work anniversary would be complete without a reminder of how many times I've been let down on the commute to London. 5/5

I tried to catch a panel session on #AI and real-world data #RWD across London to end the day but the stars didn't quite align to catch it all. ("Good" to see those organiser's had made a classic Trials / Trails typo on their banner stands. Don't see that much now...) 4/5

It is my 30th anniversary of working in #ClinicalTrials today! I don't think I feel old enough to have hit this milestone, yet started at MRC Cancer Trials Office on 03-Apr-1995. How to celebrate? Talking about better clinical trials, of course! Here's how... 1/5

It helps show direction of research community & set priorities for how we build invitations to participate in research with the richness of healthcare systems data the SDE Network will hold.

And it's not just about this year: express your interest now for ideas you want to run in the future. Signalling your interest, incl. in working with datasets that aren't yet easily available, is good.

Well done @timpmorris.bsky.social ! Brilliant to see this made available. And let's hope StataCorp feel suitably and constructively provoked.

Stata users: if you want to make ‘kmunicate’-style Kaplan–Meier graphs, I’ve just released a Stata package on GitHub. To get it: . net from raw.githubusercontent.com/tpmorris/kmu... User feedback welcome! 1/

A vanilla KMunicate-style Kaplan–Meier graph from {kmunicate}. Key is the extended risk table showing the status of participants over time.

If you are missing (or sad about having missed) #ICTMC2024 from last week or #HDUG from this week, now's a good time to grab a cup of tea & read my first blog since joining NHS England Transformation Directorate's Data for R&D Programme. Here's a handy link: digital.nhs.uk/blog/data-po...

***JOB ALERT*** I'm sure many of my #clinicaltrials colleagues in #industry and #academia will be interested in this advert for the Head of Data Operations for #DigiTrials at NHS England. Link at beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jo... Tight deadline (Sunday 06oct2024) just after #ICTMC2024.

Absolutely agree. That word stops my ability to take in anything else that person is saying around that time.
