Former senior research nurse Kate O’Brien examines the most common problems facing clinical trials today and what the potential solutions to them are.
Kate O’Brien worked for almost 20 years as a research nurse delivering phase 2-4 clinical trials in Primary Care and now spends her time promoting research awareness and improving the patient experience.
At Partnerships in Clinical Trials (Nov 2018) she led a problem solving forum called The Pain Clinic. The hope was to identify the most common issues that face different areas of the industry when developing, setting up and conducting trials, and coming up with solutions to solve them.
Based on these discussions with senior figures from across clinical trials, as well as her decades of experience, O’Brien wrote a series of pieces focussing on the most common problems and ways that they can fixed. Here we have gathered them all together in one place.
