We had a fantastic members conference last week with clinicians from all over the UK at the venue in Kettering.
The depth of experience and knowledge in quality improvement initiatives, post- marketing studies and real world evidence amongst the alliance members is gathering at pace this year.
With lots of capacity and demand to do more in their practices.
The drive to be delivering more clinical trials at our members NHS trial sites was strong too.
Clear patient recruitment strategies are becoming a huge priority for members wanting to be awarded more clinical trials – demonstrating the time and commitment is in place for supporting patients into studies.
Thankyou to all our fantastic speakers. We learnt so much!
As Dr Anuj Chahal, Chair and Advisory Board Member of the PCRA and GP Partner and Clinical Director, says, “We’re already working on several projects and I think that gives confidence for current CROs — and more importantly, new CROs — to work alongside us. Because we are as big as we are and continue to get bigger, it makes it easier to interface with a handful of individuals rather than having to go to multiple sites. Using the scale of our network, we’re enabling CROs to access much larger patient populations and reduce duplication.”
With established projects already underway and more sites joining every month, PCRA is ready to take on new collaborations — connecting motivated, research-ready primary care teams across the UK.
