Complex trials depend on strong delivery as well as strong methods. CTR contributions at ICTMC 2026 include international CTIMP set-up, multi-CTU working and early-phase decentralised delivery. @researchwales.bsky.social #ICTMC2026
This can include recruiting older participants who have different accessibility needs. Here is one of our CI’s, Dr Rachel Abbot talking about EXCISE, a surgical skin cancer trial, where the demographic are mostly older patients. @researchwales.bsky.social #ICTMC2026
