We're big podcast fans so we were very excited when our Director, @decdevane featured in an episode of 'Trials Methodology: A Podcast' with @EllaHowes1 & @GSynesi to discuss key insights into the foundations and future of trials methodology research: https://t.co/C3vjcqvlye

This short video for #MedLearn24 summarises the challenge of underrepresentation in cancer trials, and the research questions I hope to answer. You can learn about REPRESENT in 60 seconds here 👇🏼

"If you do not intentionally, deliberately and proactively include, you will unintentionally exclude." – Joe Gerstandt.

This fabulous single sentence sums up why wider inclusion in trials means actively doing new and different things.

[Prof Kamlesh Khunti @kamleshkhunti]

How should trial teams make decisions about the proportions and diversity of the ethnic groups in their trial?

[MRC TMRP DTP @MRCTMRPDTP]

Trial managers play an essential role in the running of a trial. This week, @GSynesi talks to Morgaine Stiles, a trial manager @ICR_CTSU, about the How of trials methodology. So essentially - how do you manage the conduct of a trial?! Listen here: https://t.co/GLTVuJNI5u

[Georgiana Synesi @GSynesi]

Alice’s tips in this episode were very inspiring, even to a 3rd year PhD student! Listen to her speak about her project here 👇🏼

[Ella Howes @EllaHowes1]

I learned so so much from talking with @MarionKCampbell ! Definitely worth a listen ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Katie Gillies @GilliesKatie]

'There is no wrong time, but there is always a best time' - listen to @MarionKCampbell giving us a 30min masterclass about WHEN to evaluate interventions & why the research question should always guide decision making to consider design & conduct in what are complex systems.

[Frank You @frankskyou]

Next comes the first student spotlight episode in Trials Methodology podcast where our @MRCTMRPDTP student representative @GSynesi talks about why and how should we leave no one behind in clinical trials.🌍

[Georgiana Synesi @GSynesi]

If you were interested in my student spotlight last week, then definitely give this a listen to hear @shauntreweek expand on underrepresentation in trials amongst other “Why’s” in trials methodology.

[Georgiana Synesi @GSynesi]

This episode is definitely one of those where the topic of conversation was steered by my own interests (EDI in trials) - but what else could be expected when interviewing somebody who is also passionate about the topic?!

[MRC TMRP DTP @MRCTMRPDTP]

New episode of the podcast out today! This week @Gsynesi talks to @shauntreweek about why trials methdology is so important. Here’s the episode link: https://t.co/FWJTDjAMBL

[Georgiana Synesi @GSynesi]

Another week, another very exciting guest! This time I spoke with @shauntreweek about the Why of Trials Methodology, including a few tangents as always 😇 Listen here: https://t.co/yOUInDTrpL
