Adrianne Van Huissteden speaking: Working as a PSL, for 1,5 years now, gives me a lot of joy. In the past I also worked as a research nurse for quite some time. Therefore I know what information a site needs from a participant to safely include them in a study.  It always gave me joy to inform and listen to what the participant wants to know before he or she decides to participate in a study. Especially for participants who have never participated in clinical trials and are wondering whether they want to. I can reassure them that there is plenty of room for questions, consultation and always the option to withdraw.  This often gives them confidence to take the next step. In addition to the interpersonal contact between site and participants, PSL work gives me joy in the variety. There is a great diversity in the different studies.  Not only the subject but also the complexity, duration and variation in population makes the work very enjoyable. For me it is also attractive that I learn and experience new things every time a new clinical trial starts.  The flexibility were I can perform this work makes me feel free in time and location.  So even a holiday turns into a useful affair. #PatientSiteLiaison #ResearchNurse #ClinicalTrial #Recruitment #Participants

Fostering Collaboration: The Power of CRAs in Supporting Clinical Research Coordinators 🌐 In the dynamic realm of clinical research, successful trials result from harmonious teamwork. CRAs hold a unique position that allows them to ensure trial compliance and build strong relationships with the backbone of the trials - Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs). 🏥🔍 CRAs, you can be a guiding light for CRCs by providing invaluable support and fostering a culture of collaboration. By recognizing the vital role CRCs play in trial execution and patient care, you can amplify their impact. 1. Open Lines of Communication: Establish clear lines of communication with CRCs. Regular check-ins can help address challenges, share insights, and align everyone with trial goals. 2. Empowerment through Education: Share your knowledge of regulations, trial protocols, and best practices with CRCs. Equipping them with the correct information enhances their ability to navigate complexities confidently. 3. Problem-Solving as Partners: Work together to find solutions when roadblocks arise. Your experience in navigating challenges can be valuable in keeping trials on track. 4. Recognition and Appreciation: Acknowledge the dedication of CRCs. Publicly recognizing their hard work can boost morale and create a positive work environment. 5. Professional Development: Support CRCs in their career growth by offering mentorship, training opportunities, and exposure to different aspects of clinical research. 6. Patient-Centric Approach: Collaborate to ensure patient well-being. Your joint efforts can enhance patient experiences during trials. Remember, CRAs and CRCs are two sides of the same coin – your synergy directly impacts the success of clinical trials.

Getting to Know Me and My Passion for Clinical Research🔬 Good Monday morning to the LinkedIn community! I realised I haven't formally introduced myself here. At the heart of it all, I'm a devoted mom to my wonderful twin daughters and blessed to be married to an incredibly supportive husband. Professionally, I'm deeply involved as a clinical operations specialist, former CRA and CL. Founding Menken Trials has been an eye-opening experience for me. It highlighted certain challenges in the industry, perhaps more than I anticipated. So now, I'm eager to use this platform to share insights and bring attention to the often-underappreciated hard work our CRAs put in daily. If you're familiar with the 'bible' of clinical trials, the GCP guidance, you'd recognise the indispensable roles CRAs (alongside sites) play. It's crucial we discuss the challenges CRAs face. Understanding these challenges can shed light on why many choose to move on from the role and the associated difficulties in conducting clinical trials. And maybe bring in ideas how to make the shift for the better. As I aim to provide a deeper understanding of how clinical trials operate on a granular level (something many might not be fully aware of), I welcome insights from fellow CRAs. Sharing your experiences might help elevate the industry's appreciation for the pivotal role you, along with the sites, play. Let's collaborate and learn together! 🤝 #ClinicalResearch #CRAs #InThisTogether #clinicaltrials

Why I preferred to monitor research-naive sites: 🏥 Research-naive sites are medical centers that do not have prior experience in conducting monitoring trials. When selecting these sites to participate in the clinical trials, sponsor or CRO themselves might tell you as a CRA, "Be more careful with these sites, they are research-naive" as a premonition that these sites will give you much trouble. 😱 But, you know what? In my experience, I always preferred to work with these sites. Research-naive sites are likely super happy and excited to start conducting trials. Not only because of adding this to their curriculum but also because it is an extra income for both the site and investigators. 🥳 Which means, naive-sites are eager to learn. Because it's their first time conducting a clinical trial, they are probably going to listen to you, they'll learn from you and especially, they will not have already adopted bad habits that you need to fight through. 🙌 Yes, it is more work for you because you will need to provide more continuous training and support but this of these sites as "white canvas", train your sites to be the exact (or closest) image to GCPs and to the study protocol. 🪞 #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch #clinicalresearchassociate #medicaleducation

💭 Having been a clinical research professional (CRP) for almost 25 years, Teri Crumb has seen both operational transformation and stagnation. Here, she looks back — and into the future — asking, "What if?" #clinicaltrials #clinicalresearch

INTERNATIONAL CLINICAL TRIALS DAY Dear Industry Colleagues, On this International Clinical Trials Day, I extend my deepest gratitude to all the clinical research professionals for their unwavering commitment and ethical contributions to the field of clinical trials.

Having the confidence to network doesn't come easily to everyone. You may have seen in my recent posts that I attended the Clinical Pharmacy Congress North and the Neonatal and Paediatric Pharmacy Group’s Annual Conference last weekend. What stood out to me over the weekend was how important networking is. It can be the difference between success and failure because "who you know" can literally open doors and create new opportunities. You never know where a chance meeting might lead. But networking doesn't come naturally to us all, and it is definitely a skill in its own right. It got me thinking about my group coaching program, because many of the members said that they wouldn't have had the confidence to put themselves out there and talk to people they've never met without the support and learning from the group. I tell them that they won’t know who they will meet and who that person can then introduce them to - that's the power of networking. I work with all my group members on their self-confidence and communication skills, to get them to a place where they can walk into a busy conference and talk to people with ease!If building your confidence and ‘putting yourself out there’ is something you would like to do, I am here to help. I am running a 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 for women in pharmacy 𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 (𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿) 𝗮𝘁 𝟴𝗽𝗺. You can register using the link in the comments below! I am also opening my next group program again, doors will close on 20th November - if you're interested, please attend the webinar tonight or click the link below. Do you feel confident when you network? Did it come naturally to you, or has it been a work in progress? #pharmacy #pharmacist #pharmacytechnician
