Thank you to all the people involved in this study - sites/collaborators/trial staff - couldn't have done it without you! A phenomenal effort over 3 years! Fantastic! Well done @sarahjestock π₯³ @QUIDS_Study
SO grateful to all @QUIDS study sites and collaborators. I presented initial findings at #RCOG2019 congress yesterday and won the congress medal! Amazing interest in our validated model for predicting impending #preterm birth...THANK YOU ! More news on publication soon...
@RachelN76 @PathwayTara@crustymcrusty @NIHRCRN @res_midwife @NIHRCRN_nencumb @VivDolby@rhcnrc@HeidiHollands@julestebbutt @max_feltham Handovers were key here in Edinburgh... posters and reminders everywhere as well as regular training/engagement through "study days", clinician "triage days".. all designed to engage the rotation staff in studies happening in the dept.
@PathwayTara @NIHRCRN @res_midwife @NIHRCRN_nencumb @VivDolby@rhcnrc@crustymcrusty@HeidiHollands@julestebbutt @max_feltham QUIDS very much relied on round the clock recruitment, which i feel we achieved at all our sites! This was very much reliant on engaging clinical staff in the recruitment! The smaller hospitals actually thrived and recruited really well, despite only having one RM! 1/2
Well done for this #iamresearch initiative that saw an approach to maximise out of hours recruitment on labour ward! Babies arrive at all hours after all π #whywedoresearch to improve outcomes! Makes sense to support unsocial hours pay for those research midwives π
We don't have an elf here in the office but we have the QUIDS fairy looking over us whilst we frantically finish! She's been watching over us since 2015! ππ π
Very proud of all our site teams! We finished recruitment at the end of October and the final figure is........ 3000 women for QUIDS and 549 for QUIDS2!! FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT!!!
