responsibility for day-to-day management of the trials
"I have the day to day responsibility for making sure that we have a successful trial, that the trial is conducted to a high standard and to make sure our collaborative group grows. The group we have formed as a result of the MRC CRASH trial is truly unique and I hope that we can build a bigger and more inclusive team for future trials and that we can go on to answer many more clinically important questions in trauma.
If you have any suggestions about how we can improve the trial processes for you, please let me know. I look forward to meeting all of you during the course of the trials."

This includes ensuring that GCP, regulatory and ethical requirements are met. Working with a collaborative team is a very rewarding experience and we want our collaborators to feel as proud of their achievements as we are. If at any time you need any assistance, I would be very happy to help."

As good data is key to the success of a trial our aim is to provide complete and accurate data sets for analysis so that the trial questions are clearly answered. To do this involves daily communication with you all so please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any problems with, or questions about, data. No problem is too large or too small!
Your observations and feedback on data collection are also very welcome as this helps us improve our service so please let us know what works for you and what doesn't. Working together we can deliver the best possible data and robust results."
