We are trialling designed to improve research efficiency, and developing research based on 鈥榥udge randomisation鈥� 鈥� an innovation in trial design where clinicians are automatically prompted by an alert in the electronic health record to consider whether a patient may be suitable for a clinical trial.
We have rolled out research using novel trial designs where multiple interventions can be trialled at the same time 鈥� rather than .
We are developing methodologies and partnerships for decentralised research 鈥� enabling our trials to take place outside of the hospital setting 鈥� for example through remote monitoring of research participants and trial follow up in the community and primary care.
