 Clinical Trials & Drug Development

Workshops provide a great way to learn but they are not always appropriate or practical.

That's why we also provide training a range of talks, presentations and lectures on clinical trials, clinical research, drug development and other related subjects for schools, colleges, universities, industry and professional societies. These may be one-off or delivered as a series to dovetail with existing courses, learning or training.

  Options

a. Clinical Trials, Clinical Research & Drug Development

All of our talks are designed to fit your needs. Whether we're talking to school students, university students, members of professional societies or professionals and non-professionals from industry, we take the same time and care to ensure high quality, memorable teaching and training. We also expect that you'll have some fun in the process!

Choice of subjects we offer is broad but some examples include:

Learn how all the different pieces fit together in a drug development programme, or how a clinical trial is designed and run from idea to results.

Zooming in and learning about specific aspects of drug development or clinical research, such as how we control and reduce bias in clinical studies, the Ethics review process, patient consent or the clinical phase of drug development.

Promoting and facilitating frank and open discussions about clinical trials, with the opportunity to ask all those questions you've been thinking about.

Interactive talks where simple workshop type activities are performed with speaker facilitation to reinforce presented information.

b. Specifically for Schools & Colleges

Our talks and presentations, suitable for students in Key Stage 3 upwards, fit perfectly with GCSE and A-Level syllabuses*. So whether students are studying science, health & social care or psychology, we can enhance teaching and help with revision.

* Especially AQA

Our talks for schools can include:

Nervous Transmission and how we can affect it with drugs

How we research and test new drugs

Understanding why and how we detect pain, how we treat it and how we develop new drugs

How we run a clinical trial

Background information on clinical trials, their design, conduct, analysis and reporting

How we control bias and other important factors in clinical trials to make sure that we get meaningful results

How the results of a clinical trials apply to everyone who may have the same disease or condition

 ... etc

c. Specifically for Universities

In addition to our usual talks on clinical trials, clinical research and drug development, we can also look at more specialist areas.  For example, students from pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences may want to look at the concept of quality within a clinical trial. Others may want to consider pain assessment and how we design measuring instruments to provide reliable and meaningful results.  The list is long, so why not talk to us about your needs.  We are open and honest about the services we provide and will gladly let you know what we can, and cannot, provide for you.

Each talk is designed to meet the needs of its target audience. They can be broad or focussed depending on your requirements.

Venues, Equipment & Size of Audience

We deliver our talks and presentations to any size of audience, ranging from a few individuals in a small room to several hundred in a large auditorium, at a venue of your choice.

Presentations are delivered using a laptop and multi-media projector. We can also use flipcharts, overhead projectors, whiteboards etc depending on the situation.

We believe that presentations are not spectator sports so encourage interaction and participation at all stages. We even add a few surprises to reinforce what we deliver.

Learn more about Stuart.

"Stuart is a rare individual. His ability to create sense from chaos, to distil clarity of thinking from murky waters and to impart technical knowledge in a way that makes it all seem simple, is a unique gift. His dry humour and ability to view things from a different angle, was of huge value and support to me in my role. Always challenging and thorough in his dissection, Stuart was great to work with and made meetings interesting! Put simply, he is a man many could learn from, pragmatic, human, reflective and passionate about the positive impact of what he does."
