[Norwich CTU @NorwichCTU]

Hi! Polly here, on behalf of Norwich Clinical Trials Unit. For @pintofscience #pint20 #pint20Norwich, we’d like to share some #PintSizedScience. Our trial managers, data programmers, statisticians, and healthcare experts work on high quality research to improve patient care. 1/5

Recruitment closes tomorrow! If you have a spare 5 minutes today please sign up for this #research in #PhysicalActivity during #lockdown led by @NewbyKatie, @BottomsLindsay and Terun Desai

Our words-of-one-syllable summary for ARRISA-UK trial @NorwichCTU “A test of work to train GP staff to find and give good care to dudes who some of the time need help to breathe, to help them have a less bad time.” About right, @AUKCAR @DrJaneRSmith ? That was hard... #ICTD2020

[Norwich CTU @NorwichCTU]

Writing in Plain English can be really hard for researchers, so for a bit of #internationalclinicaltrialsday fun, we’ve challenged our staff to describe their trials in words of one syllable (inspired by @thecopperdoctor) – let’s see how creative they can be! #ICTD2020

[ARRISA-UK @arrisauk]

Good luck from the team in Norwich!

[Dr Jane R Smith @DrJaneRSmith]

Looking forward to presenting our @ExeterMed @NorwichCTU @AUKCAR work on the @arrisauk study in session 4D later today at @sapcacuk #sapcasm

[ARRISA-UK @arrisauk]

It's #InternationalClinicalTrialsDay and we would like to say a huge thank you to staff at our 275 GP practices across the UK. With over 170,000 patients of interest, we wouldn't get far without your help!

Had a chat with a GP about #snowmedct today, and then I find this on Twitter - a little clinical coding Christmas gift from the BMJ...

Last day in the office before the university shutdown. Then the autoreply goes on, and that's that! (Just kidding, we'll be compulsively checking our work emails obvs!) #researchneverstops and neither does #nhsxmas

Christmas shutdown is approaching, do many GP practices send out reminders about ordering prescriptions in time, for the last-minuters like me? #primarycare

[Melanie Hamilton @Melarnia1]

Thanks to those who have already completed my questionnaire - only 13 responses so far... Please share with all colleagues treating children with asthma. Should only take a few minutes. Thank you

[ARRISA-UK @arrisauk]

Love working here!
