DESCRIPTION:Managing clinical trials\, of whatever size and complexity\, r
 equires efficient trial management.  Trials fail because tried and tested 
 systems handed down through apprenticeships have not been documented\, eva
 luated or published to guide new trialists starting out in this important 
 field.  For the past three decades trialists have invented and re-invented
  the trial management wheel.  \n\nTrial/project management is essential am
 ongst the key competencies that are needed to deliver high quality trials.
   It is recognised that well designed trials are the basis for addressing 
 important clinical questions but science alone will not be sufficient to s
 uccessfully deliver a trial.  Once the science is determined and the trial
  accepted through the peer review process the challenge is quite different
 \, the key challenge is then to establish and implement management systems
  and strategies that are effective and responsive to the needs of the tria
 l and the trialist.   Clinical trials all require the same co-ordinated pr
 ocesses and systems irrespective of the size\, scope\, cost or duration.\n
 Barbara Farrell is a trial manager with an interest in the efficient condu
 ct of randomised controlled trials and the training and development of tri
 al managers.\n\nBarbara has been running trials since 1980 when she began 
 work as a Trial Manager on two international stroke trials. Over the past 
 35 years Barbara has managed a number of very large international trials i
 n a variety of disease areas including CLASP\, the International Stroke Tr
 ial\, the Magpie Trial and the CORONIS Trial.  Between 1994 and 1997 Barba
 ra was the Trial Director of the Neurosciences Trials Unit in Edinburgh ma
 naging a portfolio of trials and a multi-disciplinary team. \n\nShe was a 
 Co-founder of the UK Trial Managers' Network and now is a key player in en
 suring the continuation and development of this network. She remains a mem
 ber of the Editorial Board of the Guide to Efficient Trial Management. \n\
 nBarbara was a member of the MRC/DH group that developed the Clinical Tria
 ls Toolkit. She also teaches on the MSc in Clinical Trials and sits on a n
 umber of trial steering committees.\n\nSpeakers:\nBarbara Farrell (Univers
