ORRCA, not a whale but a killer resource providing a database of RCT recruitment research to improve access to existing evidence & identify gaps for future. Excited to be involved with the next phase on retention @msakearney @MRCRWG @MRCHTMRNetwork https://t.co/NWVK9g2Axd

[HTMRRecruitmentGroup @MRCRWG]

The ORRCA database contains over 3500 articles of recruitment related research! The results of a mapping exercise of the included literature is available now at https://t.co/MNYfr7AhLG

Recrutiment is important but are the efforts worth it without retention? PRioRiTy II wants to know what are the research proorities for retention? https://t.co/ALtgUGqwC1

[Katie Gillies @GilliesKatie]

Help us identify the Top 10 research priorities for retention in clincial trials. See below for a sneak peek of the questions & follow link to survey - please complete as well as retweet! https://t.co/8d2ksW7pD1 #trialretention W/ @LindAlliance

Any pointers to empirical studies of NHS staff tensions around balancing duty of care to people on waiting lists with delivering a (non-commercial) clinical trial, and how this tension impacts trial recruitment? (@QuinteTBristol @Trial_Forge @QUESTScentre @MRCRWG?)

This is a fantastic development for the @OfficialNIHR HTA program: funding for embedded methods studies (SWATs) in HTA trials @hrbtmrn @MRCHTMRNetwork @MRCRWG https://t.co/xlA1kbLdpE

[Shaun Treweek @shauntreweek]

Very pleased to have had a chance to get involved with this work. It will shape the agenda for trial recruitment research for the years ahead that's for sure. https://t.co/BJgDXg08Pc

[Marion Campbell @MarionKCampbell]

Important study from @Marcus_Jepson @daisy__elliott @BlazebyJ @david_j_beard et al - highlights the way we explain randomisation really matters. We can impede recruitment by using unhelpful metaphors https://t.co/TrfDegMbcu

[HTMRRecruitmentGroup @MRCRWG]

Updated Cochrane recruitment review just published: GRADE high certainty evidence for only three (of 72) comparisons. The Implication for methodological research section gives guidance on what we should now evaluate, including protocols. https://t.co/o67wAgmZ8o

[Trial Forge @Trial_Forge]

The first Trial Forge guidance document is out: What is a Study Within A Trial (SWAT)? Definition, why they are important, practical guidance and tips https://t.co/2YTzjTZx1u @MedicalEvidence @hrbtmrn

[Adel El Feky @feky_adel]

Our protocol for a systematic review of non-randomised evaluations of strategies to increase participant retention to RCTs is out. https://t.co/vb4oH7jb4n

The review is underway so please stay tuned!

Huge thanks to @shauntreweek @GilliesKatie @heidirgardner

[Katie Gillies @GilliesKatie]

Will non-randomised evaluations of interventions to improve RCT retention tell us anything we don't know already? Watch this space. https://t.co/fYDBnxqsrn

Great opportunity for a #qualitative researcher with an interest in RCTs to join the lovely team at @aberdeenuni: https://t.co/Ljrwv6SAwb

[Leila Rooshenas @LeilaRooshenas]

Our latest paper from @MRCHTMRNetwork and @Rowlands_Ceri et al: we need more high quality research into strategies to optimise recruitment to unplanned hospital admission RCTs. Have a read! https://t.co/HHynXY2BOc
